What the wikipedia criticism doesn't mention issue flooding/packing. Quadratic voting works, on paper, when applied to set piece issues. It doesn't address the reality of legislatures, that "issues" are not fixed pieces on a chessboard. Issues can be split across multiple referendums. Whoever is in control can use splits to dilute votes, causing voters to spend their votes repeatedly winning a minor issue until their are depleted. Then those who 'lost' the first rounds now have the votes to win the last round. Giving everyone equal footing on every vote stops this.

I had the same thought. This system does not account for the introduction of legislation that can be voted on. Who decides which legislation to consider. Surely the party in power could sway the outcome by stacking the decions against each other.

This is equivalent to gerrymandering political districts. Spread out the votes on the issues based on the electors in favor of a predtermined outcome.
