No, it's more like saying:
Candidate 1: 18 votes
Candidate 2: 16 votes
Candidate 3: 17 votes
Normal people will say nobody wins, due to no majority. But you twist it to say candidate 1 should win because of more votes than either of the other 2 candidates.
Meanwhile, if you held the same poll with ONLY Candidate 1 and ONE of the other two candidates, you might find that most of the people who originally voted for the eliminated candidate would not vote for candidate 1, and instead would place their vote for the remaining candidate. In that case, the MAJORITY don't want candidate 1.
This is one of many reasons why this poll is not useful.
There were a total of 68 voters. 38 of them (55.8%) chose NOT to vote for "bits" as a replacement word for MicroBitcoin. Clearly, the majority do not accept that new usage that the vocal minority are trying to ram through.
i do not see an option that says
'not bits' : 38
you adding up multiple votes to twist results.
so now lets ignore your 18 17 16
and lets use:
Candidate 1 - 18
Candidate 2 - 12
Candidate 3 - 30
Candidate 4 - 6
Candidate 5 - 4
it is clearly obvious that candidate 3 has the most votes. yet you will add up candidates 1,2,4,5 to say 'no'.
you CANT add up other numbers just to twist the votes in your favour. as thats the kind of crappy move the UK government did, by adding the votes of candidates 4, 5 and 2. giving those votes to candidate 1 and made candidate 1 the leader (1 being a decision to form a coalition).
so lets remove the curtain:
Microbitcoin (0.000001), 100 b.u. - 18
Microbit (0.000001), 100 b.u. - 12
Bit (0.000001), 100 b.u. - 30
Mike (0.000001), 100 b.u. - 6
Micro (0.000001), 100 b.u. - 4
using your logic i can say that
52 voters hate microbitcoin and only 18 love it
58 voters hate microbit and only 12 love it
40 voters hate Bit and only 30 love it
64 voters hate Mike and only 6 love it
66 voters hate Micro and only 4 love it
making Bit the least hated option, aswell as the most voted for lovers of Bit
