, 3 years ago→Ordinalism and the "majority of preference"
Line 64:
To illustrate, let us imagine two issues and the distribution of voters regarding those issues. We will first consider two consensus issues, so the entire population is in strong agreement here.
In an election, there would be many candidates, and voters would cast ranked ballots giving preference information between any two of them. We will look at two such candidates out of many (the others will be hidden, as preference is strictly pairwise information). So keep that in mind, this is not an election with only two candidates.
We will consider two candidates, each forming a "faction" defined by the preferences people express. How does the ordinal/ranked framework react to this situation?▼
