So compression is the same as burial where you insincerely rank down your perceived main opponent? Compromising being where you raise a candidate that isn't your favourite to help it win.</span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br>Hi Toby,<br><br>Sorry I didn't say: The way I usually use these terms, if your sincere vote would be A>B>C, then "compromise" means voting B>A>C (just as you say) and "compression" means A=B>C. The latter is less drastic in terms of how insincere it is.<br><br>But technically I would say that compression is actually a type of compromise, and you could similarly say truncation is a type of burial.<br><br>Kevin<br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
