Most traditional STV methods suffer from free riding (in which
strategic voting as in not voting for people who you want to vote for,
but who will, in your opinion, win anyway) and vote management. There
is a modified STV method, that also satisfies the condorcet method, and
falls back to our current mechanism for a single winner.
Our current method has been demonstrated to satisfy Pareto,
monotonicity, resolvability, independence of clones, reversal symmetry,
Smith-IIA, Schwartz, Woodall's plurality criterion, and Woodall's CDTT
criterion, etc.
I think we should consider the paper pointed out by Antti-Juhani
Kaijanaho, found at http://m-schulze.webhop.net/schulze2.pdf
