I think there should be a runover which is the following,
when there are more then two candidatesa there can be a runover if when the polls close no one has a majority of the total votes meaning if you add all the votes together to have a majority your votes must be more than half of the total votes...
if there is a runover (actually it might be called a runoff) then a new poll is taken where only the top two candidates are included and anyone who wishes can vote,
this is best because whoever wins they represent a majority of the population not that the group that supported them had more members then any other indavidual group, because if you scale it that way you could have 35 percent of the total population supporting you and everyone else doesnt support you,
and if you are very unpopular you will just get overthrown,
I think there should be a runoff if no one has a clear majority of the total votes |
