I said that Plurality only lets you rate one candidate. That isn't true. You're still rating all of the <BR>candidates in Plurality, but you're required to bottom-rate all but one of them.<BR> <BR>So Plurality doesn't have a _lack_ of information. It has forced falsification of informtion.<BR> <BR>It should be pretty obvious that that can't be desirable. And it shouldn't be surprising, the<BR>adverse societal consequences of it.<BR> <BR>Approval is such a simple, minimal change that there can be no question that Approval is<BR>an improvement on Plurality, and only an improvement.<BR> <BR>That can't be said for Condorcet or Kemeny, or any other rank method or complex method.<BR> <BR>I don't know anything about Kemeny's properties, and I was just asking what it does with the<BR>2nd set of rankings in my previous posting, and whether or not it passes FBC. I don't claim to<BR>know Kemeny's properties.<BR> <BR>Ask some people, some members of the public, what they think of various proposed methods.<BR> <BR>Mike Ossipoff<BR> <BR> </div></body>
