REGIONS VOTE

[Emsworth]

I vote for "E"

At least two more preferences must be indicated for a valid vote.

[Gustaf]

I vote for "E"

I think AL has G as his 2nd preference.

Damn you! What do these other maps have that mine doesn't?

[ilikeverin]

Damn you! What do these other maps have that mine doesn't?

Yours is more balanced then others

[Gustaf]

Sanity

You're just jealous.

At least it's more balanced than a certain other proposal.
And yes, Al, your vote's invalid. We explicitly stated at least three preferences (although I don't see why)
And we aren't awarding points, we're going by Single Transferable Vote.

[12th Doctor]

I refuse to vote and insist that my system be considered.

[minionofmidas]

So, specify which two plans you'd use, call it option H and make it your first preference.

[minionofmidas]

In First Preference votes, there are (with about 32 hours on the clock)
6 D
5 E
1 A
1 F
1 G
(Ignoring Al's vote)
That's not a majority, so those three with one vote would be eliminated, giving 8 D, 5 E, 1 abstain (Gustaf, who only stated three preferences not including D and E).
But there's still lots of registered voters out there, and the election is far from over.

[12th Doctor]

So, specify which two plans you'd use, call it option H and make it your first preference.

No, no.  My plan is totally different from everyone elses, I ask (not demand) that we vote first on if we want Senate districts by population, perminant or my plan and then vote on how they should be laid out.  I think that those who seek perminant district have unfairly hyjacked the prosess by not allowing any options.

[minionofmidas]

Well, you're the only one who wants impermanent regions. Consider that vote taken.

[12th Doctor]

Well, you're the only one who wants impermanent regions. Consider that vote taken.

Not true.  Others supported me as well.  Harry and MAS117 both did.  The option has not been disscussed widely.  I say that we should vote on it.

[MAS117]

what did i support you with?

[12th Doctor]

what did i support you with?

sorry, it was of_thisnation

[minionofmidas]

Well, yeah, I dimly remember there was one.

[12th Doctor]

Well, yeah, I dimly remember there was one.

First off, you sir never gave us the option.  Who died and appointed you dictator?

[MAS117]

Well, yeah, I dimly remember there was one.

supersoulty you need to take a chill pill tonight man

[minionofmidas]

Well, yeah, I dimly remember there was one.

I'm not the dictator. Nobody died.
Or is that a reference to "dictator-for-life of the Solar System"? That office was granted to me by God, but it does not carry any special rights and responsibilities, it's just a title.

I protest your attempts to strong are the Democratic process.

[minionofmidas]

Sorry, not trying to strongarm anybody...Just enjoying myself here really...Go and set up a thread to vote on tour proposal, see how many votes you get...I'm totally ready to take it seriously and to vote in it...And of course (goes without saying) to accept the result.

[Nym90]

My vote, in order of preference:

D
E
A

[Emsworth]

No, no.  My plan is totally different from everyone elses, I ask (not demand) that we vote first on if we want Senate districts by population, perminant or my plan and then vote on how they should be laid out.

Your plan essentially suggests that there be ten regions, but it was voted earlier that there be only five regions. That is why it is not included in this thread. Furthermore, a vote has already been taken on what the basis for regions to me; it has not been very productive and seems to have been ignored by most. Finally, the permanence of the map is an independent issue that would be separately decided.
