Well, someone still needs to convince me that the party who was able to obtain the most broad based support shouldn't be the party that wins.
Condorcet & Approval appear to be among the best methods that can, on a very consistent basis, find that broad based support.
Furthermore, the party in the middle may not always win no matter whether they are 1D or 2D. Politics can be a very fluid thing...the party in the middle has the same opportunities to make itself hated by the majority as any other party.
(Commence flaming now.)
Ok.
