I think this uses an overly restrictive ballot  and would have horrible

I am sure that something that uses approval ballots in the first round 
could be much better. A while ago I suggested
that the two qualifiers should be the  Approval winner and the candidate 
with the most approval opposition to the
AW. How do you see your suggested method as being better than that?
