Dear Clinton,

I don't know any method of proportional representation by
the single transferable vote that has been proven to meet
monotonicity. Some scientists claim that Dummett's QBS method
is monotonic:

But I could find an example where this method violates
monotonicity:

Some scientists claim that Tideman's CPO-STV method is monotonic:

But I am very sceptical.
