Peter Emerson 彼得·愛默生
Peter, the child of an English Catholic mother and Irish Protestant father, is based in Northern Ireland. In 1986, (eight years before the IRA cease-fire), he organised a cross-community ‘experiment in consensus’ with over 200 participants; in 1991, he repeated the exercise with electronic voting; and since then, he has advocated preferential points voting, the Modified Borda Count MBC, as an measure of collective opinion, both at home and abroad. He is now the director of the de Borda Institute (www.deborda.org) an international NGO, and his latest work is Majority Voting as a Catalyst of Populism (Springer, Heidelberg).
