Bruce and I had a conversation a while back about the possibilities of this method. I can't remember all of the details of it, and I hope I've got it right (Bruce, please correct me if I don't). This meets a lot of criterion that Condorcet fails (Condorcet loser, etc.). The Fishburn caveat eliminates the Rich Parties problem that Steve and Mike have brought up in the past. The reason that I haven't posted it is that I wasn't in the position to defend it or even analyse it too deeply. The only reason why I bring it up now is that I realize it won't get brought up if I don't. I'm still not in much of a position to defend it, but I'm wondering what people think of it.
