[pp.int.general] fyi movie2k

[Antonio Garcia]

That is a very stupid idea, unless what you want is to maneuver most of the protest votes directly to the dust bin of the "democratic" elections.

With an electoral treshold of 5%, it only takes 20 little parties getting to 4,9% of the vote... to spoil 98% of the legitimate vote and get absolute majorities with whatever little you can still concentrate as captive vote.

What one needs is to be the only extremely convincing with ones own party, so that the protest vote does concentrate... but it should be tough if too many think up to that level.

Pirates are not actually rewarding intelligent thinking... and it shows in the results.



Antonio.
