    About this ebook

    HOW TO DECIDE IN THE ELECTIONS: A GLOBAL VOTE-FORMULA ON ISSUES AND LEADERSHIP AND THE OBAMA-ROMNEY CASE IN 2012 is an e-Book about a scientific method to vote and decide in a meaningful rational political way.
    Every election we face the need to make a good decision and vote for the right candidate and party.
    How to choose the important issues to analyze and compare?
    How to evaluate similarity of our views with the candidate?
    How to assess personality and leadership of the candidates?
    We propose and apply the ISPLE methodology (Issues, Similarity, Priority, Leadership, Estimation) to the Obama-Romney case in 2012.
    We use a Global Vote-Formula to estimate analytically all the above and obtain total scores for the issues, leadership, past facts and future plans of the candidates.
    This is an e-Book for all the citizens, voters and their children for any coming elections worldwide.
    It’s an exploration of the future e-Elections where methods, algorithms, numbers and computers may provide us answers to the quest for the right vote and the best decisions for our world.

      BACK COVER

      Introduction

      Politics plays an important role in our lives. Our children and the next generations are affected from our decisions. We spend a lot of time during the elections to get informed and to listen to different opinions and analysis. Then when the time comes to vote, we need to decide by trusting our judgment and intuition.

      How can we ensure that we make the best decision?

      How can we use a method to measure our choices analytically?

      How can we evaluate the candidates?

      How can we weight and measure past performances?

      How can we weight and compare future plans in a meaningful way?

      How to talk about politics with numbers and universal measures?

      How can we compare our scores for the candidates and the issues with other voters?

      How to teach our children simple formulas and tools to vote as citizens and love politics?

      How to vote every day and monitor candidates and parties regularly with a formula?

      How to initiate a method of scientific voting globally?

      How to use computers and algorithms to vote in a more rigorous way in the future?

      I asked several people and made a little survey globally (America, Asia, and Europe) and in my circles (family, friends).

      The main answers were:

      "I vote for the person, character and family
