If tactical voting *actually* dominated, that would be good. That would imply that voters were paying enough attention to vote tactically, and that would prevent, say, the most recent Canadian election, where the Crazification Factor resulted in a *majority government* because idiots didn't understand how "voting" works and enough morons decided that Jack Layton's personal charisma and Iggy's "being an American Republican, literally" justified voting in nonsensical ways ( ... )
