I agree with Gemini's take for the most part, it faces significant cahllenges but a very interesting thought experiment.  Will write more in a bit.

World News - Upcoming Elections

this is Google's Gemini AI take on the subject:

The two lists in a global election with your unique voting system would likely be:

1. Candidate List:

    This list would be massive, potentially containing millions of candidates from every participating nation. It would encompass individuals from diverse backgrounds like:
        Politicians: Current or former leaders, representatives, and prominent figures from various political parties.
        Business Leaders: CEOs, entrepreneurs, and influential figures in the global economy.
        Celebrities: Actors, singers, athletes, and other widely recognized personalities.
        Activists: Individuals known for their advocacy on various social, environmental, or human rights issues.
        Experts: Specialists in various fields like technology, science, healthcare, and education.

2. "Against" Vote List:

    This would be identical to the candidate list, showcasing the same individuals. The purpose is to allow voters to express disapproval of any candidate on the main list.

Casting your vote:

Under this system, you would:

    Research: You would need to dedicate significant effort to learn about the candidates' backgrounds, positions on various issues, and their potential impact on a global scale. Given the sheer number of candidates, this could be a daunting task.
    Shortlist: Based on your personal values and desired direction for global leadership, you would need to shortlist candidates you support and those you oppose.
    Vote: You would then cast your "for" vote for one candidate and your "against" vote for another, ensuring both are from different countries.

Challenges and considerations:

    Information overload: Researching millions of candidates effectively is practically impossible for individual voters. This could lead to uninformed decisions or reliance on limited information sources.
    Popularity bias: Celebrities and individuals with high public recognition might have an unfair advantage due to preexisting familiarity, even if their qualifications for global leadership are questionable.
    Campaigning logistics: With such a vast pool of candidates, traditional campaigning methods would be ineffective and potentially chaotic. New and innovative ways to inform voters about candidates' platforms and qualifications would be crucial.
    Strategic voting: Voters might choose their "for" and "against" votes strategically, aiming to eliminate undesired candidates instead of genuinely supporting the most suitable for the role.

Overall, while this system offers an interesting thought experiment for a global election, its practical implementation faces significant challenges. It raises questions about voter information access, fairness, and the effectiveness of promoting informed decision-making on a global scale.
