It likely wouldn't even work at a local level, so trying to run a nation with it would be futile. 2/3. While I agree in principle with #2, both of these could easibly be manipulated. Who decides what makes someone eligible to vote or how much their vote is worth? The corruption we have now is nothing to the amount a system like that would have. |
It works in the Swiss Cantons and in some institutions. But it would be a total mess trying to run the US in that way and such a system also opens up the way to mob rule.
