Line 23:
On a 2-dimensional political compass with 3 candidates, candidate B is the Condorcet winner and utilitarian winner, but is squeezed out by A and C on either side:

C would win under a single-round of FPTP, but if there is a runoff, then more of B's votes transfer to A, making A the winner:

Either way, the winner is not as good of a representative of the electorate as candidate B.
