We should not artificially exclude the Condorcet winner by imposing a new rule that each TC member can only propose one ballot option, or that the ballot option they propose must be their first choice. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
