The Proportional Representation with a Single Transferrable Vote system used in Irish elections is one of the fairest ways to count votes, but it also can be confusing! So ahead of tomorrow's General Election, Barry Gallagher has the lowdown on how the PR system actually works.

@b_gallagher2 After a surplus, how is it decided which ballot papers used for transfers ( the first batch , middle batch or final batch ( and what determines which batch goes where?( ? Time of vote ./ it seems to me the transfers could vary from batch to batch

This lady said her views, which is what we encourage… The 90 days are for that! These discussions are better than a YES/NO referendum vote! But her argument is premised on LITTLE UNDERSTANDING of the proposed system. The system is NOT NEW, it was used in the 1980 & 1985 elections in Zimbabwe. It was only changed in 1990. It’s also the system used in the majority of countries in the world including South Africa, Australia, Canada, India, the UK. Even the United States doesn’t have a Direct Election of the President, they use the electoral college system. The Presidential Candidates will be known from the beginning because they come from the political parties that Zimbabweans vote for… There is no disconnection between the MP & the President, their relationship is forged and cemented during the election campaigns & on the election day. There is a reason this system is used in the most established democracies: They realised it brings STABILITY & encourages unity. In future, we will see Coalition Governments in Zimbabwe… Political parties can form alliances to elect a president of their choice. This is now the Case in South Africa where the ANC & the DA teamed up to make Ramaphosa the President. Because of this, politics will be MUCH LESS toxic! The voter’s power to choose a President is FIRMLY protected because the voters choose the President’s Electors… if you want a ZANU PF President you vote for ZANU PF MPs.
