Examines the US electoral reform movement, which has promoted proportional representation, changing the electoral college system, & adopting the alternative vote. While the spoiler problem & the small state bias inherent in the electoral college became evident after the 2000 election, reforming the electoral college, which would mean amending the US Constitution, is unlikely. The article discusses the alternative vote for electoral reform, which might eliminate the spoiler problem but contains limitations. The author states that reforming the plurality voting system with proportional representation has the greatest potential for political progress. It is concluded that the US electoral reform movement is facing political dilemmas & that reformers need to let the average voters know that electoral reform is not just about new vote-counting procedures but is an effort to create a democratic political system responsive to all. 15 References.

Commentators in the field of policy analysis have argued persuasively for the inclusion of ethical evaluations in the analytic process; yet most practitioners in the policy field avoid analyzing moral issues. Standard explanations for this neglect of ethics tend to be inadequate; furthermore, assertions that normative analysis is unnecessary, impractical, impossible, or undesirable are demonstrably weak. Political factors, on the other hand, provide a clearer understanding of the neglect of ethics. Ethical inquiry is shunned because it frequently threatens the professional & political interests of both analysts & policymakers. The administrator, legislator, bureaucracy, & profession of policy analysis itself all resist the potential challenges of moral evaluation. HA.
