Another "Oops!". I've just realized that I posted my most recent message to the wrong thread. So now I'm posting it to the right thread: . Oops! I forgot that B voters ranked C. . Yes, C wins, even though C has a very low Plurality score. . But PC isn't intended to be Plurality. In fact, none of us want Plurality, so why should we use it for the standard for evaluating propoed replacemens for it? Plurality is not what we want. . We don't say, "Don't vote for candidate X, because he isn't enough like the incumbant" . After all, if agreement with Plurality us which results are better than others, then wouldn't that imply that we should keep Plurality instead of replacing it? . We propose methods that meet criteria that are important to us, methods that do important things that we prefer. For me, that means getting rid of Plurality's lesser-of-2-evils problem as well as possible. PC and MMPO do so excellently. Mike
