PAR voting fails the [[favorite betrayal criterion]] (FBC). For instance, consider the following "non-disqualifying center-squeeze" scenario: (
 
* 30: AX>B (That is, on 35 ballots, A and X are preferred, B is accepted, and C is rejected)
* 35: AX>B
* 105: BAX>AC
* 3515: AX>B>A
* 10: B>AC
* 5: B>C
* 40: C>B
 
None are disqualified, soand C winsis withthe 40leader. pointsPoints (againstare: 35A, 2560; B, 3555; for AC, B55; X, and35. X)C wins. However, if 6 of the firstlast group of voters strategically betrayed their true favorite AC, the situation would be as follows:
 
* 30: AX>B (That is, on 35 ballots, A and X are preferred, B is accepted, and C is rejected)
* 29: AX>B
* 65: XAX>BC
* 1015: B>A
* 10: B>AC
* 534: B>C>B
* 406: C>B
 
Now, AC is disqualifiednot viable with 51% rejection; so B (is the CW)leader. Since C is no longer the leader, B gets the 34 points from C voters, and wins.
 
However, there are several ways to "rescue" FBC-like behavior for this system.
 
For one, we could add a "compromisestand aside" option to the ballot, as described in [[FBPPAR]].
 
For another, we could restrict the domain to voting scenarios which meet the following restrictions:
Line 68:
If the above restrictions hold, then PAR voting would meet FBC. It is arguably likely that real-world voting scenarios will meet the above restrictions, except for a negligible fraction of "ideologically atypical" voters. For instance, in the first scenario above, the categories appear to be {XA}, {B}, and {C}, so the B>AC voters would probably actually vote either B>A or B>C.
 
And finally, note that in any scenario where it fails that for some small group, there is a rational strategy for some superset of that group which does not involve betrayal. For instance, in first scenario above, if 1116 of the AXC>B voters switch to >AXBCB, then AB is disqualifiedthe leader and wins without anythem having to rate C below their true betrayalfeelings.
