Correct! The fact that this breaks Ranked-Choice Voting is another reason why this is an interesting example. If the each camp in the population were to sit down and think what they'd prefer, the outcome would be in favor of Jones. So, even if they were using Ranked-Choice voting, Camp 2 would strategically vote, putting their favorite at the bottom, so that they end up better off overall.
Actually, Jones is what is known as the Condorcet winner in this election. :)
- mtgx 11y agoI'm trying to understand what's the difference between approval voting and this, though. Does this have any advantage over approval voting? Both systems seem to push the "overall most liked" candidate, but approval voting has no artificial ranking other than "who has the most points", while this one does. Although this one isn't as restrictive as RCV, which says "you have to pick the top 2 before anything gets counted", which only makes it closer to FPTP (even though it should be better than FPTP in some situations).
