One question related to the Concordet method: does it fullfill the representative criteria? AFAIUI the Concordet method allows this (please correct me if I'm wrong): We have two groups of people, A and B. A has 20 people, B 10. A fields candidates a1, a2 and a3, and B fields b1, b2 and b3. We are about to elect three people. All A people post ballots a1,a2,a3,NOTA,b1,b2,b3, and all B people post ballots b1,b2,b3,NOTA,a1,a2,a3. In your suggestion the first three people to be elected would be a1, a2 and a3, as they all beat all B candidates. In a representative election a1, a2 and b1 should be elected, instead. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
