With a narrower definition of “irrelevant alternatives” which excludes those candidates in the [[Smith set]], some [[Condorcet method]]s meet all the criteria.

==Statement==
No [[Ordinal Voting]] system can be designed that always satisfies these three "fairness" criteria:
# [[Pareto Criterion]]
# [[Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives]]
# There is neither "dictator" nor "prophet": no single voter possesses the power or the knowledge to always determine the group's preference.
