: I thought this followed from monotonicity and score ballots. Ill take it out. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 17:32, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
3. Reversal symmetry: I'm not sure if this criteria continues to be desirable in multi winner elections, though if it is, you again have not provided any proof that your method passes it.
: Which criterion? Consistency? Maybe I was more thinking of Partitionable --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 17:32, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
:: [[User:Dr. Edmonds]] I forgot to state the criteria I was talking about here - Reversal symmetry. Consistency on the other hand (where if you partition the electorate into multiple groups that all elect the same set of winners, the electorate overall should also elect that same set of winners) is (in my view) definitely a desirable criteria for both single and multi-winner elections.

4. As you said yourself, vote unitary isn't a criteria but a class of voting methods. It's not a criteria so we shouldn't treat it as one.
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
: - "Desirable" is a very subjective thing, and whether it's desirable for a method to pass or fail a criterion has no bearing on whether it actually does pass or fail that criterion. Since it's subjective, you should clarify what you mean by it, and back that up. If you mean e.g. "the method says it's proportional, but consistency (or whatever criterion) is incompatible with Droop proportionality and no other proportionality criterion has been given" then that's what you should say, because it says ''what'' is wrong.
:: I forgot to say that I was talking about reversal symmetry here, but yeah I agree. [[User:ParkerFriedland|ParkerFriedland]] ([[User talk:ParkerFriedland|talk]]) 01:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
: - That said, I'm inclined to think that every criterion compliance statement should either be accompanied by a proof or a reference to a source that contains a proof. It's easy to think that a method "obviously" passes some criterion when it doesn't. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 12:38, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
