No. In D2MAC there is no such guarantee (since it is not majoritarian) and this fact is the *very* reason that under D2MAC majorities *will* tell you what their compromise is (if it's a good compromise) since that is the only way to get the compromise elected instead of ending up with a random ballot lottery! No majoritarian method will elect the compromise in the simple 55/45-example I posted several times, only non-majoritarian methods succeed here.
