Hi,

For some reason I don't receive any of Chris' posts. Thanks to Forest

Sadly I don't see that this method can satisfy MF. Take an election like
this:

49 A
51 B>A

B has a score of (51-49)=2, while A has a score of (100-51)=49.

I believe this satisfies FBC, but few if any of MAMPO's other properties.
