>The thing I don't get about approval voting is when do you stop voting for your second choice?
I actually think splitting parties into which ones you like or dislike is a far more natural process than ranking them. Especially when you start getting more variety.
That said, I tend to prefer Range voting, since it gives people the most flexibility to actually express their relative preferences.
>Yes, favorite betrayal is possible, but it requires a very specific set of circumstances
I don't think they're that uncommon circumstances. But more importantly, even the possibility of a spoiler is enough to make people think twice about putting their actual favourite first. It's nowhere near as bad as FPTP, but there's still some pressure to choose a popular party.
