Re: Debian's custom use of Condorcet and later-no-harm

2014-02-22 Thread Markus Schulze

e E to candidate D _without having any voter to change his mind_. On the other side, the winner according to my proposal would still be candidate D. In my opinion, this is a disadvantage of Manoj's May 15 proposal because this means that Manoj's May 15 proposal leads to unnecessarily frequent changes of the status quo. Markus Schulze

My proposal isn't "extra decisive." When Manoj's May 15 proposal disqualifies all options (other than the default option) because of the quorum requirement then so does my proposal. Markus Schulze
