Line 48:
==== Enforceable mutual ranking ====
Alternative rule 1A) In the intial preference, candidate A can choose to rank B conditionally on candidate B ranking A at or above some rank r chosen by A. This would prevent B from sneakily removing A from their rankings at the last minute, to force A to delegate to B even if A has more votes. This rule is probably not necessary except in places where a major faction is accustomed to use "dirty tricks" in intraparty struggles. (ie, Peronists in Argentina) In other words, this rule could in most cases be enforced by commonly-understood social sanctions (A would be implicitly pre-committed not to delegate to any B who did this without at least openly declaring their intentions in time for A to take those intentions into account in A's rankings), without need for being written down.
