Abstract
The Condorcet criterion will be used. We explained in the last chapter that our view is that in a single-member constituency the best candidate to elect is that candidate, if any, who in a direct vote against each of the others would be able to get at least a simple majority over them; and that if no majority candidate exists, the best to elect is that candidate who stands highest on the average on the schedules of the electors, as judged by the Borda count.
