The terms "systemic" and "systematic" are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings in the context of government and other systems.

*Systemic* typically refers to something that is an inherent part of a system or institution, often implying a deep-seated or structural issue. For example:

- Systemic corruption refers to corruption that is embedded within the very fabric of a system or institution.
- Systemic inequality refers to inequalities that are built into the structure of a system or society.

*Systematic*, on the other hand, typically refers to a methodical or deliberate approach to something. For example:

- Systematic governance refers to a government that operates in a methodical, organized, and efficient manner.
- Systematic decision-making refers to a process of making decisions in a logical and structured way.

In the context of government, a systemic issue might refer to a problem that is deeply ingrained in the system, while a systematic approach to governance might refer to a government that operates in a deliberate and organized manner.

To illustrate the difference:

- A government might have a systemic problem with corruption, meaning that corruption is deeply ingrained in the system.
- In contrast, a government might take a systematic approach to addressing poverty, meaning that they have a methodical and deliberate plan to tackle the issue.

I hope this helps clarify the difference between systemic and systematic!

The Limited Preferential Voting (LPV) system is a voting method used in Papua New Guinea's national elections. Here's a simplified overview of the counting and elimination process:

*Step 1: First Preferences*

- Voters rank candidates in order of preference (1, 2, 3, etc.).
- Ballots are sorted, and first-preference votes are counted for each candidate.

*Step 2: Quota Calculation*

- A quota is calculated based on the total number of valid votes cast and the number of seats available.
- The quota is the minimum number of votes required for a candidate to be elected.

*Step 3: Surplus Vote Distribution*

- If a candidate receives more votes than the quota, their surplus votes are distributed to other candidates according to the voters' second preferences.
- The surplus votes are transferred at a reduced value, calculated based on the surplus votes and the total number of votes for the candidate.

*Step 4: Elimination*

- Candidates with the fewest votes are eliminated one by one.
- Their votes are distributed to remaining candidates according to the voters' next available preference.

*Step 5: Repeat Process*

- Steps 3 and 4 are repeated until all seats are filled or only one candidate remains.
- The candidate with the most votes at the end of the process is declared elected.

The LPV system allows voters to rank candidates, reducing the impact of split votes and promoting more nuanced voter preferences. However, the counting process can be complex and time-consuming.

Do not seek to be successful.
Seek to be valuable.

So sad to see an individual who fights against corruption get pulled down by top organisation that are supposed to be protecting individual, government organisations, private entities and NGOs.

Take PNG Backwards.
