on strategic voting, what's the source (suggestion)

[wolftune]

New strategy to emphasize:

• Strategic tactics are possible with any system
• Voters still want to be honest, they like registering their judgments
• The primary cause of widespread strategic voting is not crafty tactics, it's experience with votes where 100% honesty gives bad results (e.g. Burlington)

So, I think this is an absolutely KEY issue. People aren't strategic today because they are partisan or looking for ways to be strategic. They are strategic because spoilers have happened and bitten us badly and people then vote strategically to avoid that.

So, ironically, the most important factor in promoting honest voting isn't how susceptible to strategy a system is, it's how good it is when people are honest. In traditional IRV, honesty can hurt! Honest votes can give bad results for will of voters! THAT is the source of strategic voting, and is the reason we are all concerned about the negative prospect of more spread of traditional IRV!

SRV gives great results from honest votes, and that is the most significant factor in reducing strategic voting!!
