Dear Raphfrk,

I also see no obvious way how the "Anti-STV" approach might become 
clone-proof when voters (or factions) can add options.

So, the method AMP (and variants thereof) still seems to be the only 
solution yet...

I wonder if anyone comes up with a different approach. In particular, 
every utilitarian should be interested strongly in solving this problem, 
I guess :-)

Yours, Jobst
