  Thomas Hare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Thomas Hare (March 28, 1806 - May 6, 1891) was an English barrister who was involved in the theory and advocacy of election methods.
Thomas Hare was not a mathematician, thus never subjected his STV system to a rigourous mathematical analysis.
Mill described Hare's system as "the greatest improvement of which the system of representative government is susceptible; an improvement which…exactly meets and cures the grand, and what before seemed inherent, defect of the representative system".

 Obituary of Thomas Hare   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Hare as a lawyer were untiring industry and clearness of intellectual vision, and he has left behind him a monument of both these qualities in the shape of "Hare’s Reports in Chancery," a series extending from 1841 to 1853, which still forms an essential part of every barrister’s library.
Hare’s system of preferential and proportional representation would have been and would be, if it were practicable, of great value in preserving the rights of minorities, in securing the due representation of various interests, and in impressing upon the franchise holder the greatness of his privileges and his responsibilities.
Hare retired from the active performance of his duties at the Charity Commission three or four years ago, but up to the last days of his life he retained the keen interest in public affairs, the charm of manner, and the modest demeanour which had been characteristic of him through life.

When Thomas Hare, an English Commissioner of Charities, published his ideas on proportional representation in 1857, Tasmania was a newly self-governing colony.
Hare proposed that political representatives should be chosen using a system which maximised the second preferences of voters after their first choice candidate had received enough votes to be elected.
He adapted Hare's system using the Droop formula so that the transfer of votes was systematic rather than random, thereby enabling representation to be directly proportional to numerical strength of votes.

Under Hare's method, simply dividing the vote by the number of seats constituted the quota and then the surplus was expected to be distributed 'at random'.
Hare's famous original work Machinery of Representation appeared in 1857 (in two editions) and many editions of his equally famous Treatise on the Election of Representatives: Parliamentary and Municipal appeared between 1859 and 1873.

Mill described Hare's system as "the greatest improvement of which the system of representative government is susceptible; an improvement which…exactly meets and cures the grand, and what before seemed inherent, defect of the representative system" -- no small praise from such an eminent thinker.
Yet, despite the impact Hare made on his contemporaries and the continuing influence his ideas have played in modern politics -- Hare is little known, let alone read, today.
I say mistakenly -- because rather than proportionality being the underlying principle behind Hare's theory -- Hare scientifically designed a method to ensure the principle of "personal representation." Indeed, it was a deliberate -- and first -- attempt, to devise a concept of representation consistent with the principle of democracy.

Thomas Wright Hill is credited as inventing the single transferable vote in 1821.
Although he was not the first to propose a system of transferable votes, the English barrister Thomas Hare is generally credited with the conception of Single Transferable Voting, and he may have independently developed the idea in 1857.
STV is also susceptible to the Alabama paradox: if a candidate is elected in an n seat constituency, she may not be elected in the same constituency with n + 1 seats even when voters express exactly the same preferences.

 Parliament of Australia: Senate: Papers on Parliament No 34 - Chapter 2
Hare is the originator of the Hare system of PR which J S Mill did so much to publicise as the best basis of parliamentary reform.
This is not the place to review Hare's distinctive contribution to electoral systems but some attention should be given to the Australian reception of Hare's version of PR, first published in a series of publications in the 1850s, and here it is instructive to note the role played internationally by Spence in promoting electoral reform.
It was later through her avid reading of the works of Hare and Mill that Spence came to see the larger import of PR and the international relevance of her own early writings on `effective voting': in her words `reform of the electoral system became the foremost object of my life'.
