election_title: "The same electorate under plurality block voting — the ranked ballot changed nothing"

scenario_description: |-
  The third count of the bakery co-op board: the ranks thrown away and each voter
  simply marking as many candidates as there are seats (2) — plurality block
  voting, the method block preferential voting is usually proposed as an
  improvement on.
  Each voter marks their own side's two: the 7-voter majority marks Almond and
  Brioche, the 5-voter minority marks Croissant and Danish. Almond 7, Brioche 7,
  Croissant 5, Danish 5 — Almond and Brioche take both seats.
  That is the SAME board block preferential voting produced from the full
  rankings (bpv_bakery_seat1_c4_b12.yaml + bpv_bakery_seat2_c3_b12.yaml). The
  ranked ballot bought a fairer-looking count and an identical result, which is
  Wikipedia's summary of the method: it "regularly produces complete landslide
  majorities." What actually moves the seats is the quota — see
  bpv_bakery_stv_c4_b12.yaml.
