[EM] Comments on the declaration 2

[Juho Laatu]

Ok. Maybe the meaning of the ballots should be expressed more clearly. In Kristofer Munsterhjelm's example (= your example modified) the votes are now fully ranked, and my example uses short notation although I had no intention to refer to implicit approval of the listed candidates. Notations that show both first preferences and/or approvals of listed candidates would be clumsy, so maybe the surrounding text should be used to mention such assumptions.

On the other hand your / Kristofer Munsterhjelm's example works fine and demonstrates problems of MMPO also without implicit approval and first place assumptions and plurality criterion.
