I should point out that I proposed BTR-IRV as a slightly hacked IRV that would never eliminate a Condorcet winner, in the hope that IRV supporters might be more likely to support it than Approval or a more direct Condorcet method. I meant it only as a single-winner method and I don't recommend that it be generalized for the multiwinner case. For example, if the votes are 45:A>B>C 20:B>C>A 35:C>B>A and two winners are to be elected, I think {A, C} is a better winner set than {A, B} even though B is the Condorcet winner. (I didn't suggest a name for the method when I proposed it, but it has been called the "orphan" method, LeGrand IRV and BTR-IRV.) -- Rob LeGrand, psephologist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizens for Approval Voting http://www.approvalvoting.org/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
