Liberal Forum

As former Independent candidate John Anderson said in an article about the Ralph Nader 2004 Independent presidential campaign:


"Having an election between two candidates is obviously better than a one-party dictatorship, but having an election among more than two candidates is better than a two-party duopoly."


He then highlighted how Ross Perot’s candidacy increased voter interest in the presidential election and how that was healthy for our democracy.


Anderson concluded: "With Instant Run-off Voting, we would determine a true majority winner in one election and banish the spoiler concept.


Voters would not have to calculate possible perverse consequences of voting for their favorite candidate. They could vote their hopes, not their fears."
