Actually, Condorcet//Approval has worse favorite betrayal incentive than Schulze(wv), probably due to the fact that the method of determining the winner changes completely when you move from a state of having a CW to one where there is no CW. But I do think Condorcet//Approval has less burial incentive, as I have argued in the past. (But only if you can't rank among disapproved candidates. Otherwise Condorcet//Approval is not too good here.) Also, my Improved Condorcet Approval method, does not have favorite betrayal incentive. However, it's not as nice to explain, and it doesn't completely satisfy Condorcet. Kevin Venzke __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? En finir avec le spam? Yahoo!
