Monotonicity

You can correct for the 'monotonicity' failure, but only at the expense of the 'later no harm' condition. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Yes, STV fails 'monotonicity' which is a pity but of no consequence because the 'non-monotonicity' cannot be exploited either by the voters or by the 'candidates'. ❋ Unknown (2010)

'Later no harm' is a voting criterion that many ordinary voters consider far more important than 'monotonicity'. ❋ Unknown (2010)

There are other considerations as well such as monotonicity for electronic sensing, but the point of this post is to get you thinking about possible errors and how they might affect, most especially, regional and global averages – in other words, what errors “average out” and what errors “add up”? ❋ Unknown (2007)

IRV can fail to select the beats-everybody-else candidate, as it did in the Burlington, VT mayoral election of 2009, as well as fail the monotonicity criterion discussed above. ❋ Unknown (2010)

IRV can fail this criterion, as it did in the Burlington, VT mayoral election of 2009, as well as the monotonicity criterion discussed above. ❋ Unknown (2010)

With no political spectrums (that is, all six of the ways to rank the three candidates are drawn from the same random distribution), IRV fails monotonicity 15% of the time. ❋ Unknown (2010)

On the theoretical side, IRV often works such that voters would be better off staying home or ranking their preferred candidates lower (this is called a violation of “monotonicity”). ❋ Unknown (2010)

In 10% of three-candidate elections with a 1-D political spectrum, IRV fails monotonicity. ❋ Unknown (2010)

IRV often works such that voters would be better off staying home or ranking their preferred candidates lower (this is called a violation of “monotonicity”). ❋ Unknown (2010)

He has also clarified the importance of monotonicity of the preference ordering among individuals when trying to generate efficient allocation mechanisms. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Yes, it breaks monotonicity, but nothing says that language has to exhibit or ought to exhibit monotonicity. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The best way of improving your chance of winning under any preferential voting system is to * get** more** votes*, which is as it should be: to exploit any theoretical lack of monotonicity in the system requires superhuman knowledge, which is not available to most election candidates. ❋ Nwhyte (2008)

This is the sort of situation where the fans of monotonicity can have great fun. ❋ Nwhyte (2008)

Arrow's fifth stipulation is of monotonicity (that A getting more votes should not lead to his getting a worse result, or B getting fewer votes should not lead to her getting a better result). ❋ Nwhyte (2008)

On IRV, my hang up is that I just can't get past the fact that it fails the monotonicity criterion. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Since you know what monotonicity is, you no doubt also know that all voting methods fail some plausible-sounding criteria (Arrow). ❋ Unknown (2007)
