Hmm, it is IRV except but it uses a different elimination order.  A
candidate from the smallest party is eliminated first (and presumably
the candidate from the party with the fewest votes if the party has
more than 1 vote).

I assume that the party totals are re-calculated after each
elimination?  That means that the largest party doesn't automatically
win (as their candidates would be eliminated last)
