minus-squarelmmarsano@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·7 days ago with elections under the single-transferable vote While FPTP is trash, that system is kinda trash, too: if a candidate would beat all others 1-on-1 (Condorcet winner), then should that candidate win? Not according to single transferable vote/instant run-off. Example A > B > C: 2 C > B > A: 2 B > C > A: 1 Who wins according to instant run-off? C. Who wins against every opponent 1-on-1? B. Other methods also fail. There are better methods: this nice table compares voting methods by a wide range of properties.
