As well as Tideman CPO-STV see also Sequential STV I D Hill & S Gazeley,
paper 4 Voting Matters 15 at the Electoral Reform Society website
http://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/publications/votingmatters/15P4.htm
This paper sets out a solution to the 'eliminate the lowest' problem of STV
and attempts to identify the set of n candidates to fill n seats unbeatable by
any other candidate.
In the one seat situation this method always selects the Condorcet winner.
Theoretical examples ( highly unlikely in practice) can be produced in which
this method gives very bad results.
