Upon further thought distinguishing the democratic forest from individual trees-- After (repeat AFTER) doing Condorcet head to head math for N = 1 or whatever, I suggest that majority (or quota) beatpath(s) at the earliest Bucklin choice level should be a tiebreaker in ALL election cases- legislative (including direct votes on issues), executive and judicial (subject to my standard YES/NO vote on issues and for executive and judicial candidates). In the party STV quota nomination case (or for a direct election of a STV quota legislative body), ANY majority of the voters (or remaining voters) should be able to choose (or elect) a majority of the candidates (or remaining candidates, if some candidates get quotas). Example- Nominate 14 105 candidates Assume 3 candidates get quotas in all sets of 14 vs. 1 (84 test losers) The other102 candidates will accumulate quotas. With multiple ties (as is probable), the highest choice(s) would be successively nominated or elected (taking care not to defeat a twin, if possible). Example quota is 250 150 A B etc. 200 B A etc. 110 C A etc. 90 D B etc. The quota for B should come from the 90 DB voters. All nominees are kept in the matrix. Recheck the head to head math among the remaining candidates after each quota is filled. Technically, there should also be a YES/NO vote on legislative candidates for tiebreaking purposes (both in a party nomination (primary) election and in a general election). Example-- A majority of the voters vote YES on each of parties A, C and D in a general election. Such coalition of the A,C and D parties should have a majority of the voting power in the legislative body. I still suggest, however, of not having quotas for legislative body elections. If the above leads to the nomination or election of centrists, then so sorry. After the periodic political madness of the 20th Century (e.g. World Wars I and II and numerous local wars and civil wars (to say nothing of ordinary laws and adminstrative rules and regulations) caused/ enacted by lunatic monarchial/ oligarchial minority rule tyrannical extremists), much more majority rule (i.e. democracy) is in order.
