Quote from: Istefan Perþonest on Yesterday at 07:42:05 PMOn a purely speculative note, I wonder if relatively-disengaged voters pick among available parties at near-random, thus implicitly favoring small parties over broad coalitions.
This is my belief too. AVANT would undoubtedly had got a higher vote running as 3 parties. However, we couldn't put together an adequate list of active Free Democrat candidates. As I was yelling at people in the Shoutbox, I am a firm belief in party lists as a means to prevent a "Potemkin village" party with no real membership harvesting huge votes for the personal benefit of its leader.
