[EM] compromising strategy in Condorcet...

Dear election methods fans,

	I've long been under the impression that there is no incentive to use the
compromising strategy in Condorcet's method unless there is no Condorcet
winner. I'm just wondering if there is a proof of this already. If there
is, I'd like to cite it in my cardinal pairwise paper. Even more helpful
would be a proof that IRV has more frequent incentive for the compromising
strategy.
	Can anyone help me find these?

my best,
James

P.S. By the way, when I say "compromising strategy", I'm using Blake's
definition: "Insincerely ranking an alternative higher in the hope of
getting it elected."
