The way you've apparently defined your terms: Yes, Global quorum does have this "problem". [However, it's true that your example doesn't show this flaw with what you call "global quorum".] The reason is that condorcet has this "problem", even with no quorums whatsoever. Martin Schulze's post http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2003/debian-vote-200305/msg00119.html illustrates this principal. Also, his post http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2003/debian-vote-200305/msg00118.html talks about the more general issues. -- Raul
