[EM] The IRV-Disease has reached my town.

[Richard Lung]

The late Dr David Hill invented an STV-Condorcet hybrid called 
Sequential STV, which uses Condorcet pairing to alleviate premature 
exclusion of candidates. Tho, this version of STV is still 
non-monotonic. (FAB STV is monotonic.) David Hill's great great great 
grandfather (if that's the right number of greats) was Thomas Wright 
Hill the first known inventor of the prototype of the single 
transferable vote, or the quota-preferential method, as the Australians 
call it. This year 2019 is its bi-centenary. (More information on the 
STV Action site of Anthony Tufffin, who promised his friend David, to 
commemorate the occasion.)
