I need to thank The News Tribune for printing Burt TalcottÕs lesson in political archeology (Viewpoint, 10-6).
Talcott seems to remember a time when the two dominant political parties actually stood for different philosophies. He refutes his own argument that instant runoff voting would destroy the two-party system by the admission that the results of IRV elections vary little from those of regular elections.
The ÒvauntedÓ two-party system? Vaunted by whom? Perhaps by the two parties that managed to force it on the public back around the turn of the 20th century.
The voters deserve a chance to use IRV in Pierce County and to lead the way in the state to the ultimate goal of IRV for all.
