[EM] Re: Proportional preferential voting

As we're using our pet techniques, I'm going to apply FTC- "F*** the
centrist-" (3 candidate combination Condorcet).

A vs. B vs. C - A 30 B 46 C 24
C exc.	B wins

A vs. B vs. D - A 30 B 50 D 20
D exc.	B wins

B vs. C vs. D - B 56 C 24 D 20	B wins.

B wins "F*** the Centrist." FTC is well behaved as Condorcet except it is
occasionally dependent on irrelevant alternatives to a basis of 3
-candidate elections.
