Under Ranked Robin, parties do not gain an advantage from running clones whether the clones are frontrunners or not. A frontrunner can only gain an advantage from running inferior clones that are able to beat other frontrunners, which is incredibly difficult in practice. For elections where many clones run, the only advantage gained is if they are all frontrunners, in which case voters arguably benefit from a competitive election of many candidates close to the center of public opinion. Because Ranked Robin does not have vote splitting, the effects of clones are minimized. |
