I forgot to mention this special case that doesn't touch the main  
theme of this mail stream but is maybe worth noting anyway.

An example with two parties, ABC and DEF. The voters have zero  
information. But the strategy of the DEF party pays off and they will  
win. Not an easy strategy to implement but it sometimes works.

30 A=B=C>D=E=F
10 D=E=F>A>B>C
10 D=E=F>B>C>A
10 D=E=F>C>A>B
