      Run off voting would give the honest guy the greatest chance at winning. There would be no strategic voting, just voting for the one who best represents you, and a bare minimum contingency.

        Unfortunately that’s not how RCV works.

        There’s a lot of misinformation about RCV, claims that just aren’t supported in reality. And one of those is false claims is that RCV is in any way good for third parties.

        At it’s core, RCV is just a series of First Past the Post mini elections on a single ballot.

        That creates problems.

          Unfortunately that’s not how cereal works.

          There’s a lot of misinformation about cereal, claims that just aren’t supported in reality. And one of those false claims is that you can just put cereal in a bowl with milk in it.

          At it’s core, cereal is just a series of very small, crunchy loaves of bread, in a single bowl.

          That creates problems.
