It would be a very strange system, but perhaps IRV. Define the ordering
so that if X is eliminated before Y, Y is ranked ahead of X. IRV itself
is cloneproof, which Plurality isn't, so the result should at least be
more clone-friendly.
I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that the Plurality variant would
not be monotone. The IRV variant wouldn't be, either.
