Springer Designing An All-Inclusive Democracy Consensual Voting Procedures For Use In Parliaments Councils And Committees by Peter Emerson
This book describes the voting procedures by which majority rule may be replaced by a more consensual system of governance. In a word, such an inclusive polity can be achieved by asking the voters or, more usually, their representatives in councils and parliaments, to state their preferences, so to facilitate the identification of that option which gains the highest average preference score._x000D_ _x000D_
