</div>I meant that under strategy, the effect of clones should be reduced.<br>
If A is cloned, then the B + C supporters can react by only approving<br>
B, so B gets through. When there is only one A, then there is less<br>
incentive for C's supporters to support B.<br>
<br>
Ofc, if there is ideal strategy, then there is no need for the run<br>
off, as the voters will just pick the condorcet winner directly.</blockquote><div><br>For this reason, the runoff is conducted if a majority consent (approval) doesn't exist. The reason of runoff is to reach a majority winner if many people vote in plurality style, like TRS.<br>
<br>I didn't use rankings because IAR was intended for people with low knowledge in underdeveloped countries. When ballot complexity is not a problem, I prefer ranked or rated methods.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
