Line 15:
Any discrepancy from this ideal diagram means that a voting method is unfairly biased toward or against some candidates, purely as a consequence of where they are located relative to other candidates (how ideologically similar they are).
[[File:Yee diagram VorSq2.png|thumb|Yee diagram of ideal single-voter case with 4 candidates]]
[[File:Yee diagram IrvSq2.png|thumb|Same candidates as above, except using [[IRV]]. The Yellow candidate has been [[Center squeeze|squeezed out]] and cannot win.]]
For example, a voting method that suffers from [[Center squeeze effect|center squeeze]] might not show any win region at all for a candidate who has been "squeezed out" by the others. This candidate can ''never'' win under that method, even if their ideology is the best match for the average voter.
