AV trial for UKB polls
April 08, 2011, 11:49:21 am
I think that we need a trial for this AV stuff that my wife keeps banging on about so that we can make empirically informed choices when it comes to referendum day. The UKB poll system is an ideal tool for this.

The immediate benefit will be that we will see the true popularity of the pastry options.

I will use this topic for people to vote for their first choice and another poll for their second choice and after the one week trial period is up I will do some AV magic to see what the results are.

Come on all you lovers of democracy, freedom and pastries/pinks get voting! That includes you Sloper.

Feel free to campaign for what you think is right and explian the best tactics.

2nd choice poll

Voting for the same thing twice is just plain stupid

Where's the "you have too much time on your hands" option?

Maybe they thought their time was better spent out in the sunshine?

You'll need a third, fourth and fifth poll too to reflect AV.

You're also missing a "None of the Above" option

as I understand AV - you dont HAVE to vote for any more than one.. you just 'waste' your 2nd,3rd, 4th vote etc..

To make this poll a true test of AV, we should have many - close choices.. e.g.

Pain au Chocolat
Pain au Raisan,
Pink Anasazi,
Cherry Bakewell,

etc....

Yes, no or pastry/shoe options = #fail

I did think about having a Re Open Nominations option, but everyone would want to vote for big RON

I didn't seem to have the option of putting more than 5 options

Am I missing something?

Hang on a minute.  According to the "Nay" party its going to cost a fortune to implement AV (which is actually bullshit), how much are lagerstarfish plc. charging UKB for running the proposed AV system?  :jab:

This is the usual bollocks.  Still no mention of almond croissant, just like in every other damn poll.  I'm spoiling my ballot paper, no it's worse than that actually, I'm soiling my ballot paper.

Typical fascist ruling class plot to marginalise the almond.  Same as it ever was.

Do you mean this is being funded by Vickers?

It'll balance out me voting pink Anasazi in them all.

since this is UKbouldering surely there should be a tea and scones option?

There should also be a 'smug and superior' option for each choice.

I think that would be an option only seen on the other channel.... along with flapjacks....

Tunnocks bars though... are a worthwhile option with a longer shelf life if away from the patisserie for a while...

I didn't think they allowed voting in a dictatorship.

Calm down dear, it's only a trial.

Almond croisants are far too important to be toyed with in a mere experiment.

Oooh. Pain au chocolate got 43% in 1st choice counting

Unfortunately the Overlords won't let me see who voted what, so I can't tell what the 2nd, 3rd, 4th choices were for the biggest losers.

Fuck it. Under FPTP, pain au chocolate won and it's certainly better than eating pink Anasazi
