== Notes ==
One direct implication of the chicken dilemma criterion is a spoiler effect. This is because if A drops out of the race, then B becomes a majority's 1st choice and wins in any majority criterion-passing method. Further, there is also usually incentive for Favorite Betrayal, since A-top voters generally benefit from putting B 1st. That would be the case in IRV for:

26 A>B

25 B

49 C

If two A-top voters instead vote B-top, B wins instead of C.


Most advocates of the CD criterion would likely counter that it's a more common issue to encounter CD-type scenarios because of strategic voting rather than honest voting, therefore these are worthy prices to pay for the strategic resistance.
