[EM] Dumb question

[Markus Schulze]

Dear John B. Hodges,

approval and ranked pairs are not proportional methods.
When these methods were being used to create an ordered
party list then a majority of the voters of this party
could fill all relevant positions.

I suggest that STV should be used to create an ordered
party list.
