Here's a natural scenario that yields an exact Condorcet Tie:
A together with 39 supporters at the point (0,2)
B together with 19 supporters at (0,0)
C together with 19 supporters at (1,0)
D together with 19 supporters at (4,2)
D is a Condorcet loser.
A beats B beats C beats A, 60 to 40 in every case.
i wouldn't mind if someone could decode or translate the above. what
does "at the point (x,y)" mean in the present context?
much appreciated.
They're coordinates in a 2-dimensional political spectrum. Assuming
Euclidean distances are used, the ballots are:
40: A>B>C>D
20: B>C>A>D
20: C>B>A>D
20: D>C>A>B
