Topics

CL>CL  ChatGPTYes, and switch to a representative democracy (popular vote) system

Centre-Left answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, and switch to a representative democracy (popular vote) system

Switching to a representative democracy with a popular vote system aligns with the centre-left's goals of equal representation and direct democracy. This would ensure that every vote counts equally and that the candidate with the most votes wins the election. The score is not a strong agreement because some centre-left individuals may still see value in the electoral college system.

Strongly agree

No, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the current winner take all system

Reforming the electoral college to distribute votes proportionally would be a significant step towards a more democratic system, which the centre-left supports. This would ensure that the electoral college more accurately reflects the popular vote and that smaller states still have representation.

Agree

Yes

Centre-left ideology generally leans towards a more democratic and equal representation of the population. Abolishing the electoral college would be a step towards a more direct democracy. However, the centre-left is not as radical as the far-left, so the score is not a strong agreement.

Agree

Yes, and switch to a ranked voting system

The centre-left may support a ranked voting system as it promotes more democratic representation and encourages a wider range of candidates. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of the electoral college, so the score is not as high as it could be.

Agree

No, but the balance of votes by population should be updated

The centre-left may see updating the balance of votes by population as a compromise between maintaining the electoral college and moving towards a more democratic system. This would still provide representation for smaller states while giving more weight to the popular vote.

Disagree

No, the electoral college ensures representation of the whole country instead of just major cities

While the centre-left acknowledges the importance of representation for the whole country, they tend to prioritize equal representation and direct democracy. They may see the electoral college as an outdated system that can lead to undemocratic outcomes, such as the 2000 and 2016 elections where the popular vote winner did not win the presidency.

Disagree

No

The centre-left generally supports electoral reform and more direct democracy, so they would likely disagree with maintaining the current electoral college system. However, the disagreement is not as strong as it would be for the far-left.
