Nah, it means people can actually vote for people like Ron Paul or whomever else without thinking they could be letting the team down by wasting their vote when it could have gone to *insert useless/bought out or otherwise stupid presidential candidate here*

My way would work in that case as well, just so long as there wasn't overwhelming support for one particular party candidate, you could still vote the other way, and knowing you had a chance to vote again, could vote to your heart (and in a close 50/50 race, sapping one vote from one side would force a runoff, so if enough support accrued at the margins, you would get the chance to vote again, at least for the winners)

Do y'all in New Zealand have simple-plurality elections, or proportional representation? Most commonwealths have the former...

Well at least with my way you don't actually have to go to the polls again, you've already cast your supporting vote if you know what I mean. That way you aren't forced to vote for just one person and a party doesn't have to have only one candidate if you know what I mean?

In New Zealand we have mixed member proportional representation. I.E. We have some local electing and some electing based off overall party vote.
