Okay- "Regularity" is the name used earlier by Albert Langer (Craig might
recognise the name ;) ) to describe the probabilistic analogue of IIA. It
goes like this-
The addition (removal) of a candidate does not, for any other candidate,
increase (decrease) the probability of that other candidate winning.

A simple example-
2 A>B>C
1 C>B>A
Guess what happens if candidates are added or removed.
See the earlier postings regarding clones and circular ties.
