Speaking of this, are we sure that Fractional Transfer STV is what we want for future elections? Wouldn't it be appropriate, to use simplest and most effective mechanism of one person - one vote for one candidate = results depending on how much votes each candidate got?

I know reasoning behind FT STV, but frankly, in my opinion, it adds unnecessary complication, resulting in fact, that ~80% (wild guess) of voters doesn't fully understand mechanism behind counting votes.

// Edit

proposed "one person - one vote" is just an idea, it could also look a little more complicated - main question I've asked, is if we really need/want FT STV election/counting mechanism.
