Given the preference orderings listed above, what would the result be of a pair-wise contest between the spending choices education and medical?

Now assume that Councillor 3 has to take a family member to the emergency room and has a very poor experience with the level of medical care provided at the local hospital. This leads her to view improving medical care as a higher priority than improving education in the municipality, if money is to be spent improving any programs. Councillors 1 and 2 do not change their preference orderings. Thus, the councillors now have the following preference orderings over the spending choices: Councillor 1: Education, Medical, Tax cut Councillor 2: Medical, Tax cut, Education Councillor 3: Tax cut, Medical, Education Assume that the councillors hold a round-robin tournament that pits each alternative against every other alternative in a series of pair-wise votes.
