I just asked if DMC was effective against order reversal, so if it is,
please let me read about DMC !
You should know about
http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Special:Allpages
which is a complete list of pages on the Electorama wiki.
It includes
http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Definite_Majority_Choice
which describes DMC, including history.
DMC currently comes immediately before my own contribution to EM,
http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Delegable_Proxy_Election
No special reason for mentioning that here beyond the fact that I
like to keep delegable proxy methods in view.... DP, as an election
method, is a bit of a trick: it is deliberative, using an assembly
which is chosen, not elected as such, whereas election methods are
generally aggregative, if they attempt to resolve majority failures
without a runoff or other such procedure outside the method itself.
(Asset Voting, invented by Warren Smith, is another deliberative
method; in fact, it is effectively DP.)
By the way, spiffy changes to the EM wiki! -- since the last time I
looked carefully....
