Yes, and switch to a ranked voting system

Switching to a ranked voting system might appeal to Saint-Simonianism's emphasis on rational and progressive governance structures.

Strongly agree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism advocates for a society where the most capable and knowledgeable individuals lead. The electoral college system, which can result in a leader who did not receive the majority of the popular vote, may not align with this principle. However, the ideology does not explicitly address electoral systems, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree

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

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

This approach might be viewed as a pragmatic step towards more equitable governance.

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

Updating the balance of votes could be seen as a step towards a more rational and effective governance structure, although the ideology does not specifically address electoral mechanics.

Slightly disagree

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

Switching to a representative democracy or popular vote system could be seen as aligning with Saint-Simonian values of social welfare and progress, as it might be perceived as a more direct form of democracy. However, the ideology's emphasis on leadership by the most capable might not fully align with the principle of pure majority rule, reflecting a slight negative score.

Disagree

No

While Saint-Simonianism does not directly address electoral systems, its emphasis on efficient governance and social welfare might not see the abolition of the electoral college as inherently contrary to its goals, provided the existing system could be shown to effectively support technocratic leadership and the common good. The slight negative score reflects a preference for systems that directly empower capable governance.

Disagree

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

Saint-Simonianism's focus on societal progress and the importance of leadership by the most capable (often interpreted as a technocratic elite) suggests a nuanced view on representation. While ensuring broad geographic representation aligns with inclusive governance, the ideology's core principles do not necessarily prioritize geographic representation over efficient and enlightened administration.

Disagree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism, with its emphasis on industrial and technological progress, might not inherently oppose the electoral college if it believed the system could support a technocratic or meritocratic governance structure. However, the ideology's focus on addressing social issues and improving the welfare of the public might lean towards a more direct representation. The negative score reflects a nuanced stance rather than outright opposition.
