Yes, in fact I don't hold that as a requirement. I support Approval 
voting.

However, that doesn't mean I have to like IIA. I don't buy into the 
idea that adding information to or removing information from a 
method's inputs should not change the results. Nor should anyone who 
believes there is merit in pairwise ordinal methods. I choose to give 
it up as well.

But what did you think of INI?
