Hi,

A voting system which satisfies the independence of irrelevant alternatives criterion is immune to the spoiler effect,
Now, considering people use the term Spoiler Effect in the context of Independence of Clones Criterion,
Really? I consider some but not all forms of clone dependence to be cases of spoiling, but I don't recall seeing it used as a synonym for spoiling.
I never claimed it was a synonym for spoiling.
However, if an election method fails the ICC, it will be subject to a spoiler effect.
What definition of IIA is used in Wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_of_irrelevant_alternatives
and what's their definition of spoiling?
This is what is being resolved at this time as well.
