IRV is a lot better than FPTP, but it still can come up with some surprising results. For instance, what happens in a three candidate race when the majority of the voters prefer A over B, and A over C?pre:4 CAB 4 CB 3 BAC ----------> 3 BC ----> C wins 2 ACB drop A 2 CB pre:Precinct 1 Precinct 2 Combined Votes 6 ACB 6 CAB 6 ACB 4 BAC 4 BAC 8 BAC 3 CBA 3 ABC 3 CBA 6 CAB B wins B wins 3 ABC A wins pre:10 ABC 10 AC 7 CAB ----------> 7 CA -----> C wins 6 BCA drop B 6 CA vs 8 ABC 8 AB 7 CAB ----------> 7 AB -----> A wins 8 BCA drop C 6 BA ASCII charts and demonstration logic shamelessly stolen from here. E: I forgot the weirdest one. Voting can cause your last-ranked candidate to win: pre:3 ABC 3 BC 4 BCA -- Drop A --> 4 BC B wins 6 CAB 6 CB What if two more ABC voters come out? 5 ABC 5 AC 4 BCA -- Drop B --> 4 CA C wins 6 CAB 6 CA Harik fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Jun 16, 2018 |
