Well, if more than 1 VP is possible, then the election could be

- Elect council with PR-STV
- The condorcet winner (only including the councillors) is President
- Elect 2 of the councilors as VPs using PR-STV

However, there is still the question of what exactly the VPs and
President is supposed to do.

If they are to chair council meetings, then it is better to just elect them.

I still disagree with using order of election in a PR-STV election.
It provides an additional incentive for dishonest rankings.

It would have most of the same problems that plurality has where you
need to vote for one of the top-2.
