Depends on the application. If, for example, we're a group of five people and we're voting in a binary vote (say we're adventuring, and there's a fork in the road, and we have to pick left or right), there is a perfect voting system for that application: simple majority.

(To be pedantic and cover all bases - "simple majority where any of the five who says they don't care gets their vote replaced by a flipped penny")


Every other voting process has its own issues, and since I can't predict what is going to be voted, I can't pick the "correct" one.
Absolutely untrue. This particular application screams for "running each suggested change on a simple majority basis".

It's the perfect voting system for what we're trying to do here. Condorcet would tell you, if he were still around to.
