The idea is to tie how much support a faction's preferred candidate receives from other factions by how much that candidate's faction has supported those other factions. In other words, support must be given to be received, encouraging reciprocation
To do this, voters are split into factions and ballots of each faction are used to rate other factions. These mutual factional ratings are then used to adjust each voter's ballots, so that between any two factions their average rating is equal. For example, if faction A rates faction B an 8, but B rates A a 5, the scores given by voters in faction A will be adjusted so that the mean rating of faction A towards B is also 5 instead of the original 8.
In other words, support is capped by the lowest amount of reciprocation. This way, all factions are encouraged to mutually give higher ratings to one another, while striking a balance in not supporting too much.
