Spanish scientists develop more democratic voting system | | Spanish scientists have developed an ingenious new voting system that will focus on social wellbeing as well as provide more gravity to minority choices. The system,
that is the brainchild of Robert F. Veszteg, of the UC3M, and the Universidad
Autónoma de Madrid professor, Agnes Pintér, will allow voters to order alternatives
according to their preferences, scoring them along a numeric scale. "What is important
is that they say a number for each alternative which is higher for their top choice
or those for which they wish to assign more importance", stated Professor Róbert
F. Veszteg, from the UC3M Economics Department. The researchers' goal in this
work to obtain efficiency in common decisions based on voting without the presence
of money or monetary transfer, from political elections to a family decision about
where to spend an upcoming vacation, to friends choosing a movie, or a group of
students trying to agree on a date for a make-up class. "We have aimed for a relatively
simple voting system which protects minorities in the aforementioned situations,
where this protection is justified from the point of view of the well being of
society as a whole", asserts the UC3M Professor. |
