Can't they all delegate the votes that they get from you?
 
 

Also, just out of interest, is there a multi-winner version?

With a proportional approval system, it wouldn't always be obvious who would get 
elected under a particular result before going into the calculations. So when it 
gets to the delegation stage, wouldn't it be a headache for the candidates to 
work out what would happen depending on how they delegated?
