I'm not sure this is the right place to discuss this, but since this part of the constitution deals with voting power and the associated rules, I'm giving it a try.
Have you (or Jae) considered the idea of integrating an evaluative voting system? It's a much more expressive and democratic voting system in the sense that it allows for a more representative and less biased measurement of the electorate's opinion.
The principle is simple: a vote where voters are asked to choose between options A, B, or C. In a traditional voting system, you have to choose one of the three without differentiating the other two. In an evaluative voting system, you assign a score between 0 and 5 to each option, for example:
- A = 3
- B = 5
- C = 0
This allows you to electorally signify that if B is not the chosen option, between A and C, you would prefer A by far. To calculate the results, we count the points assigned to each option (in our case, we can multiply them by a coefficient related to the T1, T2 and T3 tiers), and the option with the most points wins.
The results are particularly effective in contexts where some of the proposed options are very polarizing in terms of opinion. In some cases, an option that was not the best for any voter (but a good second choice) can come out on top if it was sufficiently consensual and its alternatives were too polarizing.
