Easy.<br>

Threshold in approval is >>. In U/P, voters are as

Actually it seems to me that the stripped-down 3-slot version (if
default rating is "Unacceptable") is actually the same method<br>
as MTA. "Unacceptable" is just the inverse of "Approved". Any
candidate who doesn't get a majority "Unacceptable" score must<br>
get a majority Approval score. <br>
<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not the same. In MTA, if no candidate is majority preferred and several are majority approved/acceptable, the most approved wins; in U/P, the most preferred wins. This is the only difference, aside from secondary issues like ballot design. I believe U/P is better in this case as it makes a chicken strategy harder to pull off successfully; a clean cliff rather than a slippery slope.</div><div> </div></div></div></div>
