Kevin--
 
You said that MMPO, as I define it (applied to its own ties) fails FBC.
 
Presumably you're referring to an allegedly possible situation in which Favorite (F) can't win in a
tie, but Compromise (C) can. So you befefit by making C get into the tie, where otherwise F would have.
You do that by ranking C over F, to lower C's maximum pairwise opposition (MPO), and raise that of F.
 
Are you sure that works?
 
If C can win in a tie, and F can't, then it must be that C has less MPO than does F.
 
But, if so, then why do you need to vote C over F to get C into the tie?
 
MMPO, PC, and SDSC:
 
There have been conflicing statements about whether PC (Condorcet//MinMax(wv) ) and MMPO
meet SDSC.
 
I said in an earlier post that Bucklin is the only method I know to meet SDSC.
 
I hesitate to say for sure right now, but now it seems to me that PC and MMPO meet SDSC.
 
Has anyone posted examples in which PC &/or MMPO fail SDSC?
