The Condorcet paradox (2/2)

Three voting orders:

1) (A-B) ? A wins, (A-C) ? C is the winner

2) (B-C) ? B wins, (B-A) ? A is the winner

3) (A-C) ? C wins, (C-B) ? B is the winner

The voting result depends on the voting order!

There is no socially best alternative*.

* Irrespective of the choice the majority of voters would  prefer another alternative.
