Borda method would be preferable to Condorcet method, which does not

with respect to the relative importance of preferences.
This is a decisive reason for prefering Gregory method, that only
comes into operation with (more democratic) multi-member
constituencies. That is with current conventions of voting method.
Even a system that transcends the single-member counting problem is
not desirable from democratic point of viewe.
