Mutual majority criterion

The Mutual majority criterion is a criterion for evaluating voting systems. It applies to ranked ballot elections. It can be stated as follows:

If there is a majority of voters for which it is true that they all rank a set of candidates above all others, then one of these candidates must win.

This is often called Majority criterion for solid coalitions or simply Majority criterion.
