I cannot recall any method that has been seriously proposed to 
replace FPP that would not have elected you!

You say you were the centre candidate of 3, and got more 1st choice 
votes than 'the Greeks'. This is typical of those UK election results 
that are considered to be unreasonable. Replace FPP with almost 
anything!

It would have been more interestingly if you had come last, with 
neither of the others getting 50%, or if the Greeks had come first. 
In this case different methods give different results. I wonder which 
is 'fair'?
