Mark Thompson has an excellent satire of the voting system today. While part of it is a call for proportional representation, the rest raises issues that can only be solved with Anytime Voting.
Satire is a useful tool for examining system design. Ferreting out the ridiculous and the absurd can help to expose the problems in a self-consistent system that is nevertheless producing unintended consequences; in this case, a theoretically representative system that actually only asks for the views of a small number of swing voters in marginal seats every four or five years.
