By comparing the many voting procedures used in democratic decision-making, it explains why win-or-lose binary voting can be inaccurate and divisive, while the more inclusive preferential points system of voting can be so much more accurate and, therefore, more democratic; indeed, it is a win-win methodology. The text, essential reading for anyone interested in fair and participatory collective decision-making, also compares the most common electoral systems. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5474 606 $aElections 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aComparative government 606 $aElectoral Politics 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aComparative Politics 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aMicroeconomics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a324.6 700 $aEmerson$b Peter$0790031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483355203321 996 $aDemocratic decision-making$92846409 997 $aUNINA
