Instant Run-off fails at 5 voters. Example- 2 AM 1 MB 2 BM With IRO, M is dropped so that B wins, 3 to 2. However, if M is paired against A or B, then M beats A, 3 to 2 and M beats B, 3 to 2. Thus, there can be a compromise candidate (such as M) who beats each other candidate in all of his/her head to head pairings. Can IRO fans comprehend such compromise candidate possibility ? The above 5 voter example could just as well be 100 million voters-- 20 million AM 10 million MB 20 million BM
