ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Why have we been led to think that in an election 50% + 1 is somehow a good outcome, and represents a real majority of preferences? Are there better options?
Valery Perry talks with Peter Emerson of the De Borda Institute in Belfast to try to answer this question and introduce the concept of multi-preference decision making. He also shares his experiences over several decades cycling around the world talking to people in small villages and big cities - from Bosnia to China and in many places in between - about how there are in fact better decision-making procedures out there.
