[EM] Re: IRV-P. Another name for Condorcet?

> I also like descriptive naming.

Ditto.

Jameson Quinn has suggested the names Instant Round Robin Voting (IRRV)
and Instant Pairwise Runoff Voting (IPRV) as alternative names for
Condorcet methods.

I like having "round robin" in the name because I think it is a familiar
concept to most people.

The name IRRV looks and sounds similar to IRV.  That could be a good
thing:

- They actually are similar in a very obvious way: they both use ranked
ballots.

- The IRRV name might be memorable, and pique the curiosity of people
who have heard of IRV.

- People who have promoted IRV might find it easier to switch to IRRV
than to a method with an entirely different name.  The change seems
smaller.

> ... "i voters
> prefer A to B while j voters prefer B to A. If i is greater than j
then
> A beats B". Does that sound ok?

Yes.

Cheers,
