Thanks for making and posting this video. I would steer clear of using "centralist" candidate and say "most popular" or "most preferred" as the winner is not always going to be what we typically refer to as a centralist in political terms.
Yee's visualization tool does actually allow multiple candidates to be on the same point on the spectrum. It's just not shown here. That's a good way to prove to yourself which systems are immune to clones. A downfall, however, is that this visualization only shows political views on one dimension instead of two (e.g. Nolan Chart). And you need at least two dimensions to see phenomena like a Condorcet Paradox where there is no Condorcet winner. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very nice video. One criticism: this method doesn't seem to be able to consider the effect of multiple parties at the same point on the spectrum (which might actually be nice; imagine, for instance, being a conservative who doesn't like McCain or a liberal who doesn't like Obama and having another potentially viable choice to vote for).
