Hopefully this can be a resource in the battle against mediocre  
election methods.

The short short version is:
IRV gets worse results on average in simulation
IRV has chaotic nonlinearities and can pick the wrong answer
IRV doesn't scale up
pro-IRV FUD is lies


On the other hand, maybe I've spent too much time in my own little  
world and this doesn't make sense to anyone else. Feedback, anyone?
