If under the PR method it can happen that you don't want to vote for a
"sure winner" then I guess in this method it might be the case that you
don't want to vote against a "sure loser." If so, that could aggravate the
problem of electing poor compromises.

I suspect strategically this method is a lot like antiplurality in its
instability, with voters frequently wishing they had voted differently once
they see the results.
