[EM] "In Praise of Manipulation" - interesting preprint

[Stephen Turner]

There's an interesting preprint by van Hees and
Dowding about manipulation (link below), in which they
argue that it sometimes could actually be beneficial.

They define 2 types of manipulation, so-called
"sincere" and "transparent", which it is argued could
be beneficial, and among other things they prove
a theorem that says that the effect of an arbitrary
manipulation can also be obtained by a sincere
manipulation as long as the voting system is
monotonic.

Mostly they deal with voting methods in which only
top-ranked preferences are counted.
