50% + 1 vote. Not 1%

50%+1vote is basically 50%+infinitismally small amount percent, which is what I wrote there. And the introduction of ANY independent candidate will have a good tendency to smash your wish.

A run-off system always leads to 50%+1 result. 

I wish they had edit, but also 'tiered voting'. Where you vote in descending order which candidates you favor. If your guy has the least amount of votes and is removed from the run-off, your second vote is in effect until everyone either votes for only two candidates or one of the candidates secures half of all votes. This system allows for people to vote for third parties without "throwing away" their vote to the person they dislike the least because their vote will always be against the person they dislike. 

It's complicated on it's face, but I think it makes by far the most sense.
