That would be a big improvement, if FBC, and non-failure in the ABE, can be
gotten without
the criticisms that opponents could use against MMPO and MDDTR. Such a method
would be worth offering
as a first proposal even if it's a little more complicated than MTA, because
it's worth
a try due to its major advantages, whereby no one could think they need to bury
a favorite, and
I could vote a not-really-likeable compromise over the worst candidates without
any strategic hesitation.
The fact that one isn't giving as much to a non-bottom-ranked candidate
qualifies more candidates
as an electoral "lesser-evil", making it easier to defeat greater-evils.

, but I've repeatedly pointed out that the
term "chicken dilemma" is a more descriptive name for this situation, and
also (as far as I know) one which has precedence.

Take it easy. Call it what you want. I've been referring to it according to
where I'd
heard it.
