It would be interesting to compare these results to the Condorcet-PR link I
provided earlier:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/election-methods-list/message/10308
It would also be nice to see how each of these methods handles borderline cases,
or cases when the factions are less clear-cut. Who gets superproportional
representation, does anyone get under-represented, et cetera.
Unfortunately, Condorcet-PR more or less passes over the boundary into "too
complicated to work out in most meaningful examples", so a computer
implementation is basically the only way to compare things.
