Another monster IRV example

A,B  leftwing extremists   Stalin, Lenin, Mao, etc.
Y,Z rightwing extremists   Hitler, Mussolini, Le Pen , etc.
M Moderate

22 ABM
21 ZYM
20 BAM
19 YZM
18 M

100

With Donald's favorite IRV  (without the voters straining too much to vote 
for more than 3 choices) ---- M loses, Y Loses, B Loses, Z loses, A Wins

M beats each other candidate Head to Head.

IF the votes are all YES votes, then M has a mere 100 of 100 votes.

This type of example, of course, means nothing to IRV fanatics.

How many extremists were running in the recent France President election 
(producing Chirac and Le Pen in the top 2 runoff election) or in the 2000 
U.S.A. President election ???

How many extremists WILL RUN if IRV is being used ???
