If that was so, I would not have posed the question :-)

There are methods that will lead to the election of the compromise when all voters use "optimal" strategies (i.e. maximizing expected rating/utility).

And they need not even be randomized (although that makes the solution much easier).
 
Let's see who will find the answer...

Yours, Jobst
