I guess I can't comprehend how someone doesn't view non-montonicity as a fatalflaw in a voting system.
If I can hurt my preferred candidates chances of winning by ranking them higher on my ballot then the voting system is broken.
- SilasX 8y agoNon-monotonicity is a problem. Non-monotonicity solely on a few pathological edge cases where voter preferences are a nigh-intransitive clusterf—- is not a problem.
- admax88q 8y agoI think that the Burlington example that has been cited a lot in this thread shows that non monotonicity is a problem for IRV in not just pathological edge cases.
