The Socialist Workers Party's newspaper proved to be a tough sell to downtown businessmen.
In preferential systems, does anyone ever try something like "We're marking the opposition candidate as #2, vote for our guy as #1 or else!"

ie, suppose we have candidate B, a radical; candidate D, a fascist, and candidates H and J, centrists.What happens if the people for candidate B start saying they're going to vote for D as their second choice in order to strong-arm the H and J people? Is that something that anyone's tried in places where this has been adopted?
