@ColinTheMathmo I once sketched a design, in m6 free time (you know: as one does) for a more meritocratic implementation of democratic voting. I doubt it (or something equiv) would ever be put into practice anywhere in my lifetime, at a scale that mattered. but I felt it was important to try. and a useful intellectual exercise!
