[Election-Methods] Elect the Compromise

[Jobst Heitzig]

Dear Abd ul-Rahman,

Not at all. I only stated that a certain method (classical Borda) has in the given situation no group strategy equilibria electing A or B but only some group strategy equilibria electing C.

Yes. I did not say Borda elects C with *sincere* rankings. I said all *group strategy equilibria* elect C, for example the equilibrium

55 C>A>B
45 C>B>A

> the ratings that Jobst fed us as a distraction. 

You're doing it again -- please stop it.
