Today's Topics: 1. Re: Electing Cabinets/Executive Committees – starting with MJ 3/9/2024 From: stevebosworth@hotmail.com What do you think of using Majority Judgment to elect the provisional prime minister. As a result, this winner would have received the largest number of highest grades regarding their suitability for this office? This number would also be a majority of all the votes in the elected parliament. Such a winner would seem to be the one most likely to be able to negotiate the formation of a unified cabinet that would receive the needed majority vote of confidence.

I think a Condorcet method would be most likely to do that (since it maximizes the chances that the elected candidate will have majority support). Majority Judgment can actually do arbitrarily badly at this--a candidate can win even if only one voter supports them. (It lacks the Archimedean property.)

Only somewhat relatedly, I'm thinking we should start calling Graduated Majority Judgment something like "first-to-reach-majority", "first majority", or "first majority wins". This avoids big, complicated words like "graduated" that might confuse people.

1. Re: Electing Cabinets/Executive Committees – starting with MJ

See my post from a couple of weeks ago. I propose using a MJ-like seed ranking to initialize and generate the marginal differences for a Smith-compliant margin sort method. http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2024-February/005386.html While I'd like to use MJ instead of median rating score, I don't see an obvious way to get a score sum in MJ, and in any case, the extra handling of MJ is obviated by the margin sort.
