Approval Voting

[Platypus]

Preferential voting is way less likely to have an extremist win then approval voting-in preferential voting, you're more likely to get moderates elected, if there is a bias at all.

also, preferential voting allows for voters to vote their beliefs, and therefore vote minor parties, but not waste their vote-thats whay we had something like 20% of the vote for minor parties and independents this election, but all but three seats went to the coalition or the Labor Party-the other three were independents from the country.
