Since he seems to be trolling me, perhaps you could look at this. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 22:25, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Please look for argumentsYou comment on my activity is a aggressive nonsense. You do not like the truth, which contradict you POV and you use assumption on personality to interrupt others editions. Answer to the question: what means word "plurality" in intermodal meaning (not servants English dictionaries) also what means word "majority" in common sense and you will get the answer what I doing and way. If you do not answer to this two question in logic scientific way I can say you are just aggressive POV bouncer. --New Speech Killer (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Here you are: Oxford Dictionaries: Plurality - The fact or state of being plural. Plural = 1) More than one in number. 2) Containing several diverse elements: a plural society. Where is the "More then one" or containing "diverse element". Truly: What means you sentence: "Note that the type of pluralism they refer to in the definition is in the sense of holding two titles at once." - What titles? Be clear about you talking. Do you mean if you use two words of definite meaning and slash back that means the conglomerate can have NEW in fact opposite meaning? The "reliable resources" call is the Wikipedia mixing technique. Scholars go to point of beginning, not to Internet noise. Explain me on the base of preliminary meanings of words the conglomerate name has a sense. It does not. And, I did not ask about difference between majority and plurality words. I ask you what majority word means in YOURS dictionaries. It means more than half, is not it? So where is the more than half?. I say the system reduce number of parties in parliament and gives false majority government, is it no a fact? The system should be call Less Plurality/False Majority. Why you defend the propagandists manipulation? For sure not for logic reasons? Do you? --New Speech Killer (talk) 00:32, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Such kind of assumption #3 of Britannica. (Underline #3) i.e. plurality is more than others - is only in UK and US encyclopaedias, maybe in Canadian ... thus the only countries where the make-up of democracy still exists. The English speaking postimperial and imperial states attempts to manipulate the language for political reason and some become shamanistic about their way - because it is in ENGLISH. This is not good it can be insolent anyway. The logic says if #1 is truth means "many", can not means "most" i.e. #3. Simple. --New Speech Killer (talk) 17:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC) I am happy that you agreed that Majority you do not dispute and you agree it means "more than half". You can easily find that the system produce FALSE majority governments - supported by less than than half electorate (30-39% in most cases). Thus it has nothing to do with "majority" in truth meaning. Since in reality the system also reduce/eliminate the smaller parties on district/constituency level and become in fact two party system - like in US it reduce the number of parties in parliament. It should be call LESS plurality/FALSE majority system, is it not? Be honest. A scholar way? Logic language? --New Speech Killer (talk) 17:42, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, In the template of "Voting Systems" other editors obstinately using Plurality/Majority term. I would opt temporally to single "Plurality" and discuss its corrective later. However there some bouncer and pushers who do not take my invitation to discuss. I am not frustrated with delay until somebody take constructive conversation - some do not. I will check you link regarding so call Plurality Voting Systems. However look again on the dictionaries which introduce the meaning, they are English and US and providing the reference as third - after the correct Latin/International meaning: Plural means many, plurality = large number, multitude, battalion, pack that is the International/Latin meaning. For me the position of the definition is already essential i.e. the introduction of Plurality - name of voting system is written as last position. Secondarily, I would repeat - if the word plurality means "many" it can not means "most". Word "most" is used in the Anglo/American dictionaries to describe the "Plurality Voting System" anyway - pleas focus on it. And it is the fact, the winner receiving "most" voting of all, that is all - not necessary many votes :).--New Speech Killer (talk) 00:32, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, 1) Most for me is the number (quantity) greater (higher) than any other in particular set. The word most unnecessary means many, for example in set of numbers 10,9,7,6 the number 10 is for me the most (greater, higher) number, but of course it is not many in comparison with other members of the set. In a set 100, 10, 17, 20, 30, 31, 32 of course 100 is comparatively many but not a majority of course. That is my qualification of the words most, many and majority. English is not my first language but when I look into other languages I know in translation from English it seems to I would be correct. 2) I attempt to give a proposal for the group, which is called presently Plurality/Majoritarian. Even on the base of opposers sources there are actually two separate groups, and the Single Winner System in question, once is put into Majoritarian systems the other time into Plurality systems by UK sources. However neither of the external UK sources I checked, say they Plurality and Majoritarians are equals (the same group). Seems to me some editors concluded themselves that if Single Winner System, which they like very much, are once in one group, the second in the other that means there is single P/M group - seems to be a nonsense conclusion not supported by external sources. There so many inconsistences in names and selection in the group P/M (which I would name “Constituency level systems”) that I would rewrite all the group. This contains three separate groups at least. A) It is right some of the Constituency Level Systems” are for “Majority in a final round”. B) “First pass post” belongs to the “Most votes” group – absolutely it cannot be call “Plurality system” as plurality does not mean most. C) There are “Constituency Level System(s)” which provides "More than Single Winner from a Constituency", so it is different from “First past post“ and “Majority in final round”. Only common for this systems is the members of a parliament are selected on the level of a constituency. However, none of the three provide plurality in political live, those systems eliminate the smaller parties on constituencies’ level. - Great for corporations /lobbing but not for citizens’ democracy!

Dear JBL, I will answer to you here, but I will also copy my answer on your talk page. Let Happysquirrel decide if she want to keep yours and my note.
One thing moreWho designed you to say what is or is not in adhere to neutral point of view? Set you arguments not you opinion and stand off "superiority" - you know better what is or is not neutral point of view. A band of three editors use to pretend that they have neutral point of view. Let find not their/yours "neutral" but the objective/scholar point of view. Attempting to be Wikipedia editor you suppose to be scholar like - not a neutral but objective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by New Speech Killer (talk • contribs) 23:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
But it is not our job top use names of a voting system which are misleading. Is it? The system Was called on beginning Single-member district or Single-member constituency, need not, and should not be call different way in particular deceiving public opinion by using beautiful words "plurality" and "majority". They are foundation of democracy which are wounded by the Single-member constituency system. My propose is to use the preliminary name for the sake of honesty - against propagandists attempts.--New Speech Killer (talk) 00:43, 9 February 2016 (UTC) Related: There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.

Thank you so much everyone! This means so much to me. It's always good to know my efforts are appreciated. As someone who works mostly with new articles and new editors, I find myself often on the margins of the community, helping people inwards, but never going in completely myself. You can't imagine how great it is to have people coming out to congratulate me. Happy Squirrel (talk) 02:38, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
