familiar X opposite the name of a single candidate.   Instead it would be
an expression of preferences, indicated by putting the figure 1 opposite
the name of the first-preferred candidate, the figure 2 opposite the name
of the second-preferred and so on.   The preferences could include as many
or as few of the candidates as the voter wished.

A candidate would be elected not by securing a plurality of votes but by
securing a quota of votes.   A quota is established by dividing the total
number of valid votes by the number of members to be elected plus one, and
rounding up or adding one to the quotient.  In the framework of the STV
this apparently strange formula is rational.   In a typical United Kingdom
five-member constituency 250,000 votes might be cast.   The quota would
then be 250,000 divided by five-plus-one, i.e. 41,667.   No more than five
candidates could be credited with more than 41,667 votes each.   The quota
is the smallest number of votes to allow five candidates to be elected and
is just big enough to prevent the election of more than five.
<p no=4>
When the first-preference votes are counted any candidate who has secured
a quota is declared elected.

Had this apparently contradictory programme been worked out over a long
period, it might have seemed more logical.   But it contains the hallmarks
of a last-minute compromise with conservative critics of the market
system.

The signs of retreat in the Ryzhkov formula are only too apparent compared
with the plan put forward by his deputy, Mr Leonid Abalkin, only a month
ago.   The "hybrid" looks less like a controlled experiment than a hasty
effort to balance political opposites.

Parliament is united on what is wrong with the Soviet economy.   Growth
has been slowing; inflation is up.   The government has been spending
beyond its means, with a budget deficit last year of 120 billion roubles
(GBP120 billion at the official rate), or 10 per cent of GNP.

Very heavy Syrian casualties would apparently have been deemed a lesser price
to pay than the probable failure of anything less than what the general's men
say was planned: a full-scale armoured and infantry assault involving 40,000
men on five main axes along a 50-kilometre front.

The likelihood that, after all the fanfare and ultimatums, it is not going to
happen, or at least not for the time being, is another boost for the "rebel"
general in his lonely defiance of Lebanon's Muslims - indeed, a good many of
its Christians, too - much of the Arab world, and international communities.

The Tayif agreement was supposed to be a formula for peace, but last week it
came close to becoming a recipe for one of the biggest, almost certainly the
most ferocious, battles of the 14 1/2 -year war.
