I also add my standard ANTI-IRV example --
34 HWS
33 SWH
16 WSH
16 WHS
99
If PWS was being used, then S loses -- 50 last place votes.
34 HW
33 WH
16 WH
16 WH
99
H loses -- 65 last place votes
W wins.
H Hitler, S Stalin, W Washington (or another *compromise* choice)
Generally compromise choices will be ranked early.
Extremists will be ranked in lower/last places.
PWS thus uses ALL of the place votes data -- one test for ANY method -- using
ALL of the data.
