Later-no-harm criterion: Difference between revisions

 

=== Preventing compromise ===

This criterion is equivalent to the criterion that the system is non-compromising in that it will never elect a compromise (i.e. a [[Utilitarian winner]] or [[Condorcet winner]].) This is not universally desired so it cannot be claimed that this criteria is always one which would be desirable to pass. If one wants a system which can elect a compromise winner then it would be desirable to fail this criteria.
