Another example is Chile 1970.
Tomic ["centrist"]
was the Condorcet winner (and probably also range, approval) but was
not elected, indeed finished last. Allende ["leftist"] was elected.
Allende had an extremely ineffective government and fell to a coup,
which was a huge disaster for Chile.
This example totally goes against Gilmour's theory that "weak Condorcet
winners" are a bad idea since they'd be "totally ineffective" at governing.
