Hi Juho--<BR>
<BR>
> If that one example set of votes is "bad enough" for MMPO, then how about this example for PC(wv)?<BR>.<BR>> 49 A<BR>> 48 B > C<BR>> 03 C<BR><BR>That example doesn't have a bad result at all.<BR>
<BR>
A has no pairwise defeat, and wins as Condorcet winner. I (nowadays at least) define PC<BR>
by first saying:<BR>
<BR>
"If any candidate doesn't have a pairwise defeat, that candidate wins."<BR>
<BR>
Sure, if all we said was "The winner is the candidate whose greatest pairwise defeat is the least", <BR>
then that could be construed as meaning that C wins, because A doesn't have a pairwise defeat, and,<BR>
among the pairwise defeats, C has the smallest one.<BR>
<BR>
If I've ever defined PC in that latter way, only saying what is in quotes in the previous paragraph,<BR>
then I didn't write the definition very well. If so, then I apologize for my careless writing of the <BR>
definition.<BR>
<BR>
By the way, Juho, speaking of polls (in the other thread), didn't you do an international poll a few years ago.<BR>
<BR>
I was about to ask you to do another one--but this time, just ask people to vote on a _world_ president, <BR>
prime-minister, or leader.<BR>
<BR>
I hope you'll consider that.<BR>
<BR>
If you do, here are my nominations:<BR>
<BR>
British MP Livingstone<BR>
Arundati Roy (an Indian woman well-known for her humane efforts)<BR>
Nelson Mandela<BR>
<BR>
No doubt there are others worthy of candidacy too, but those are the ones that first occur to me.<BR>
<BR>
So, how about an interational poll for world leader?<BR>
