Martin Baxter

I've wikilinked to his entry (currently a redirect to Electoral Calculus. It appears that it's the same person, although we really need some reliable sources confirming if this is the case. [1][2][3] -- Trevj (talk) 12:49, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I've just seen that those joint publications are listed, so it must be fine. -- Trevj (talk) 13:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fraid not. I'm pretty sure that Martin Baxter's background is mathematics rather than politics, but I have no special knowledge of the man or his website. Just what I've read there several years ago now (I am not a regular visitor or avid reader of his website, I just happen to know that it is a very popular internet haunt of politics geeks).--Mais oui!
