<br>
I guess that you are talking about "Hylland free riding",<br>
rather than about "favourite betrayal".<br>
<br>
See section 7 of my paper:<br>

"In this context, Hylland free riding means that a voter<br>
votes preferably for those of his favorite candidates who<br>
are lower in the expected party list. (...) With this<br>
strategy the stronger candidates get lower places than<br>
they would have got otherwise, while the weaker candidates<br>
get better places than they would have got otherwise;<br>
therefore, the aim of this strategy is that the stronger<br>
candidates get places that are still good enough and that<br>
the weaker candidates get places that are just good enough<br>
to get elected."<br>
