      @simon_lucy @theinspectorst @i_am_not_a_robot @Syldon @jonne It’s called transferable for a reason. You get one vote, but if your candidate gets knocked out, it’s transfered until their next choice candidate until one candidate has 50%+1 . The transferable vote allows you to choose your preferences so we don’t continue with the ridiculous situation where somebody can get elected with only 20-30% of the vote, as happens in some places.
