I submit that a more drastic form of tactical voting (I would not use a
word implying mendacity, because casting a ballot is the exercise of
right, not a statement of fact) is voting for one's last choice first,
and as previously noted this tactic by a minority of the supporters of a
candidate can sometimes work quite well in IRO.  The plurality wing
tries to get the other (more extreme) wing to run second, so as to use
the second choices of the middle to prevail.
