[Lnc-business] While talking about alternative voting

I should add that I personally believe the US should move toward some
kind of ranked choice, multi-member districts, or proportional
representation, and that it ought to be an LP priority.
However, I have a hesitation in that it is not in our platform. We have
some vague language about representation but nothing specifically
suggesting any of those aforementioned reforms. I'd appreciate people's
feedback on whether there is an LP consensus on this and it's just
never been reflected in the Platform, or not. If there is no existing
consensus, the first step might have to be working to build it within
the Party, a task I'd be eager to help with, before we start focusing
the LNC on acting on it.

We should be adding a third prong nationally and that is getting
alternate
voting practices - I believe that is perhaps more important (but at
least
equally important) as the other two and this should start to be a
regular
focus of our goals along with more strategic alliances.
We had our informal goals discussion - I ask for members to now join
me in
calling for an e-meeting to set them.
