Congratulations to them for picking a proportional multiwinner method 
instead of just hacking together something that seems right at first 
glance, like SNTV or per-seat IRV :-)

It'd been even better if they had used a deluxe method like Schulze STV, 
but I'm not surprised they didn't, because it is very complex to 
explain. Perhaps this choice constitutes evidence that pairwise 
"false-candidate" multiwinner methods are so complex (or seem to be so 
complex) that they won't be used.
