I wasn't advocating it - just outlining an interface that might make
use of a "smart" device to assist people exercise a complex choice
more meaningfully.

An easier way to solve the problem would be to adopt NZ/German style
MMP voting for a single chamber and dump the Senate and all its
representational shortcomings entirely. My own choice would be to
combine MMP with a preferential voting system.

The essence is that an easy automated voting system implies a more
understandable, and therefor easier, manual system.
