I agree with Donald (commence flaming now).

My personal preference is Approval>IRV>plurality, and to some here that
alone is heresy.  Moreover, I believe that any real improvement is, well,
real improvement.  And I suspect that IRV will spur demands for PR, as
third parties are able to give better showings.  With 3 or more parties
beating 15%, the flaws of single-member districts will become much more
glaring than they are right now.

Anyway, I have no doubt that people will fiercely disagree with Donald,
but I'm going to voice my agreement with him.
