D- For offices such as U.S.A. President, a State governor or a major city 
mayor there WILL BE *accurate* polling information.

ALL methods have *strategy*/ *gameplaying* problems with 3 or more choices.

Is a single winner *tolerable* (i.e. can he/she get a YES majority vote) ???

A *world dictator* is not (yet, at least) being elected by ANY method (in 
connection with various alleged horrors about getting a *weak* Condorcet 
Winner).
