Dear Juho,
this sounds nice -- the crucial point is that we'll have to analyse what
strategic voters will vote under that method! Obviously, it makes no
sense to the A voters to reverse their C>B preference since that would
eliminate C instead of B and will result in B winning instead of C...
Dear Raphfrk,

51: A1>A2>C>B
49: B>C>A2>A1
C should still be the winner.
B will be cl
