Really? Here we just laugh at such stuffwits. One of our big happy clappy churches has its very own political party. ('FAMILY FIRST' ) One of 'em was actually elected through preferences.. Just about everyone,on both sides of politics sees him as an embarrassing joke.

Quote:Preferential voting (preference voting or ranked voting) describes certain voting systems in which voters rank candidates in order of preference. It is also used to refer to the form of ballot used by such systems. Such systems are also sometimes called "ranked" or "ordinal", to distinguish them from "rated"/"cardinal" voting systems.
Preferential voting can be used for both single-winner and multiple winner elections. Preferential voting is best known in the form of instant runoff voting. The least competitive candidates are removed one by one, and their supporter's ballots are transferred at full value to each voter's next best choice. The field is whittled down through successive rounds; removing the single least favorite candidate each round until the favorite(s) of the electorate is found. Advocates believe this method is effective at electing the candidate(s) with the broadest range of electoral support on a single ballot; and when choosing from, or encouraging, a large number of potential candidates.
