1-Candidate-Mutuality (1CM):
If a majority prefer x to y, then they should have a way of voting that will ensure that
y won't win, without any of them voting a less-liked candidate equal to or over their
favorite.
[end of 1CM definition]
Majority-Top, Approval (MTA):
Voters mark candidates "top" or "middle", or no mark.
If a candidate is marked "top" by a majority of all the voters, s/he wins.
Otherwise, the winner is the candidate marked "top" or "middle" by the most voters.
If more than one candidate is marked "top" by a majority of the voters, then the winner is
whichever of those is marked "top" or "middle" by the most voters.
[end of MTA definition]
Approval meets FBC and WDSC.
MTA, MDDA and Bucklin meet FBC, 1CM and 3P.
Bucklin also meets SDSC and UP.
MDDA also meets SFC.
