Well, don't forget that I want the approval vote, which is less complicated than the Borda system. The approval vote simple says "vote for any and all that you would be willing to run the country". Certainly different people will set the limit in different places, but overall it guarantees that the candidate with the greatest general appeal will be elected. (While this may result in a wave of mediocrity, welcome to democracy).

I don't like the Broda system, as it assumes that the amount of difference between pick one and two is the same as between pick three and four. Another way to do it is to offer y votes, where y=Number of candidates * some constant, and let you split those votes amongst the candidates. This wouldn't make much change in the single-candidate voters, but would change the results of those who are split between two or more candidates. It's much more complex though, and overall I prefer the approval vote.
