Election by Chance
I’m revisiting my electoral system (last seen here) with some substantial revisions and improvements, and I’m trying a side experiment to see if effectively pulling 646 random votes out of a hat produces a more proportional government than our current one. Amazingly it seems so far it does, we actually do better by random chance than FPTP. I’m sure statisticians will be unsurprised but that’s going to keep me amazed for a while.
