MATHEMATICS TO THE RESCUE OF DEMOCRACY - PAOLO ...

This book explains  in a straightforward way  the foundations upon which electoral techniques
are based in order to shed new light on what we actually do when we vote. The intention is to
highlight the fact that no matter how an electoral system has been designed  and regardless of
the intentions of those who devised the system  there will be goals that are impossible to
achieve but also opportunities for improving the situation in an informed way. While detailed
descriptions of electoral systems are not provided  many references are made to current or past
situations  both as examples and to underline particular problems and shortcomings. In addition
a new voting method that avoids the many paradoxes of voting theory is described in detail.
While some knowledge of mathematics is required in order to gain the most from the book  every
effort has been made to ensure that the subject matter is easily accessible for
non-mathematicians  too. In short  this is a book for anyone who wants to understand the
meaning of voting.
