See http://electionmethods.org/evaluation.htm for one list of such criteria. Condorcet is the only voting method which satisfies (almost) all of them. (You can't satisfy _all_ criteria. In fact, you can mathematically prove that this is impossible.) -- Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/
