Hi Gert, The scenario you present is incomplete as you did not include second/third preference votes, however I will do my best to explain. No options have a majority, even though option A has a plurality, so option B (the least popular) would be eliminated. Let's assume those voting for options B, C, and D do not want option A so their second preference votes would be allocated to C and D. 30% on A 33% on C 37% on D Once again none has a majority so we eliminate option A, let's assume these are allocated equally. 48% on C 52% on D Then option D wins. I hope this helps.

You have misunderstood how IRV/STV works. If the majority are against charging scheme A, but are otherwise split across the other charging schemes IRV will ensure that scheme A does not win.
30% on A 20% on B 25% on C 25% on D
please explain how "70% are against A" will make A not win here.
