Sorry, I wasn't clear at all.  I was thinking of the decoy list issue with MMP.

What I meant was that it is like MMP in that the voters have a party
vote and an additional vote using a different method.

It is immune to decoy lists since it doesn't elect anyone directly.
The additional vote is purely used to decide which members of the
party are elected.  Also, it is single constituency based.

It does have the advantage that it is summable.
