Dear Craig,

I thought that IRV was your favorite method. What is
currently your favorite method?

By the way: I don't promote IRV. But in so far as every
election method has some problems, it makes no sense to
criticize an election method simply because it has some
problems. The unique sensefull way to criticize an
election method is to propose another election method
and to explain why this other election method is better.

By the way: You haven't yet defined your IFPP method
for every possible situation. Therefore it is
quite speculative whether IFPP has some interesting
properties.
