GWAGL, Diff or Ratio using lv,wv To: Forest Simmons <forest.simmons21@gmail.com> We have a lot of promising autodeterent proposals, & that’s important because the previously best Condorcet, wv, doesn’t get rid of the lesser of two evils problem (LO2E) as well as I’d like: Because the candidate-lineups are dichotomous, I’d vote 2-valued, all-or-nothing, like Approval. But then might not the lesser/evil voters do the same, & insincerely toprank their evil, the Democrat? No good. Maybe only the new Condorcet-class, the autodeterents, can deliver on the Condorcet promise. lv & wv seem the strongest, most direct, most undiluted & most reliable clues to offensive strategy. …for use by GWAGLE, Diff, & it’s alternative, Ratio. I like Black, & it might have some autodeterence, though diluted. So: Smith//Borda(=<). Of course there are several Borda versions. For this purpose, & also for plain Borda, I like Borda(=<): A ranking gives to each candidate a point for each candidate whom it doesn’t rank over hir. Equal topranking is fully-effective. Bottom-ranking is less effective the more you bottomrank. Of course all of the following are applied only in the Smith-set: GWAGL(lv,wv): Elect the candidate who beats with biggest wv the candidate with lowest lv in a defeat. Diff(lv,wv): Elect the winner in the defeat with largest wv - lv. Ratio(lv,wv): Elect the winner in the defeat with largest wv/lv.
