Oops! I forgot that B voters ranked C. <BR>
.<BR>
Yes, C wins, even though C has a very low Plurality score. <BR>
.<BR>
But PC isn't intended to be Plurality. In fact, none of us want Plurality, <BR>
so why should we use it for the standard for evaluating propoed <BR>
replacemens for it? Plurality is not what we want.<BR>
.<BR>
We don't say, "Don't vote for candidate X, because he isn't enough like<BR>
the incumbant"<BR>
.<BR>
After all, if agreement with Plurality us which results are better than others, then<BR>
wouldn't that imply that we should keep Plurality instead of replacing it?<BR>
.<BR>
We propose methods that meet criteria that are important to us, methods<BR>
that do important things that we prefer. For me, that means getting<BR>
rid of Plurality's lesser-of-2-evils problem as well as possible. PC and<BR>
MMPO do so excellently.<BR>
