    No, it is the exact opposite of a preferential choice. With systemic consensus, you don't go for what you consider your favourite from several possibilities. You determine your resistance to every statement available for election. The proposal that expresses the least resistance in a number of all voters wins the election.

    If Hans is the person from a class representative election to whom the whole class has the least resistance, then Hans wins the election. Which can actually be quite different from voting for only one of the favoured candidates.

    Here is a comparison of the two methods:

    Your "least resistance" example looks like RCV, but your "majority voting" example is NOT RCV.

      I guess you must read my article to understand systemic consensus. Here is another one where I explain it:

      It's certainly not RCV. In the RCV method it's all about preferences, I copied the text from the link you gave me:

      Voters rank the candidates for a given office by preference on their ballots.
      If a candidate wins an outright majority of first-preference votes (i.e., 50 percent plus one), he or she will be declared the winner.
      If, on the other hand, no candidates win an outright majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated.
      All first-preference votes for the failed candidate are eliminated, lifting the second-preference choices indicated on those ballots.
      A new tally is conducted to determine whether any candidate has won an outright majority of the adjusted voters.
      The process is repeated until a candidate wins a majority of votes cast.
