Most traditional STV methods suffer from free riding (in which strategic voting as in not voting for people who you want to vote for, but who will, in your opinion, win anyway) and vote management. There is a modified STV method, that also satisfies the condorcet method, and falls back to our current mechanism for a single winner. Our current method has been demonstrated to satisfy Pareto, monotonicity, resolvability, independence of clones, reversal symmetry, Smith-IIA, Schwartz, Woodall's plurality criterion, and Woodall's CDTT criterion, etc. I think we should consider the paper pointed out by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, found at http://m-schulze.webhop.net/schulze2.pdf manoj -- There are no saints, only unrecognized villains.
