If my seconding is acceptable, I am happy to do so.

So long as you use all the tags above, I agree with this.  Despite using 
compulsory Preferential Voting all my life I had never heard is described as 
Instant-Runoff and the abbreviation MPV meant nothing to me (in Aust 
we usually abbreviate as CPV or OPV depending on whether distribution 
of preferences is compulsory or optional)..

I hope this is acceptable. Sorry if it is not.
