[quote=Anonymous]If there are four plans for how to move schools, or set boundaries, and people were forced to vote, and 40% liked Option A and 20% liked Options B, C, and D, they would go with Option A because it is twice as popular as any other option, its a clear winner, right? Well, 60% of people--the majority--would be mad, because their preference didn't win.

And if they looked at the results from the first vote and said well, none of these got a majority, we'll adjust the plans and take another vote, and the second time around 50% liked Option A, 30% liked Option B, and 10% liked Options C and D, you would have a majority but you would still have only 50% of people happy, plus all the people who switched from C and D to B and STILL lost would be even more pissed.

Everyone needs to accept that most people aren't going to be happy and get everything they want. We have to get to where people will accept a solution that they can live with. Without all the damn dramatics. [/quote]
