[Election-Methods] Unnecessary voting method?

[Stéphane Rouillon]

First Steve's comment is wrong as shown below: A > B > C.
> 33: A > B | C
> 31: B > C | A
> 33: C | A > B
> 3:   B | A > C
>
> C is eliminated with 33 votes as support.
> B is eliminated with 34 votes as support.
> A is last eliminated but receives no rallying voters and finishes with 33
> votes as support.
>   
> B wins.
Second, as written before, scores or supports matter, not meaningless 
winners which could not get elected with SPPA in the end...
