MMPO by itself never fails LNHarm. I imagine it would have a few more LNHelp failures than CDTT,MMPO,FPP did. I prefer a CDTT method to MMPO, because with 4+ candidates MMPO doesn't satisfy Minimal Defense slash SDSC or Majority for solid coalitions. This might not in practice be a big deal, if voters realize they should try not to create opposition of their favorites against each other. But it's still ugly. Neither a CDTT method nor MMPO is decisive enough to use alone, so I don't let simplicity be a big factor in MMPO's favor. CDTT with Random Ballot satisfies Clone Independence, Majority, Minimal Defense, and 3-candidate LNHarm; MMPO with Random Ballot satisfies LNHarm and 3-candidate Minimal Defense. I recently attempted a page on Minimal Defense: http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Minimal_Defense_criterion Kevin Venzke __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
