gollark: I've heard good things about approval voting and score voting, which have the advantage of being very simple.
gollark: Yes, that is a problem.
gollark: Also, you can't actually convey much information through voting; there are probably, what, four choices at most, two of which are remotely serious. That's *one bit*.
gollark: Another issue with voting as a system for dealing with politicians doing stupid things is that it's very slow.
gollark: As a vegetarian, I disagree.
