US Midterms
RE: US Midterms

To be honest, say what you will about list tranferable voting system, the plurality such a system encourages over a first past the post system forces all parties to come up with a wider party agenda. Well, usually. Wilders here in the Netherlands basically ran last time on xenophobia and a part agenda that was one very sparsely occupied page of A4 text.


But what you really need for an informed voter is time, and the only way you get that time made available is by burning into society a culture of requiring informed voters who make the time to become one. Although I'll admit third party organisations that are independent of political parties running issue polls and then compare those to the declared agendas for the voter getting polled's interest help.
