I still don't see what I'd call an explanation of your assertion.
If this intended to be a proof by induction, I'd like to see the
steps in the proof. 

An induction proof would probably look something like this:

Postulate:  Method X is excellent in single-winner elections.

(To be proven)  If method X is excellent in N-winner elections, 
where N may be 1 or more, then it's also excellent in (N+1)-winner 
elections.
