[EM] Did someone say monotonicity? Or: Droop proportionality and monotonicity

Dear Kristofer,

your argumentation basically is: When some voters rank X higher,
then it is not possible that some other candidate Y becomes a
member of a solid coalition.

My argument basically is: When some voters rank X higher,
then it can happen that some other candidate Y who couldn't
be elected without violating Droop proportionality can now
be elected without violating Droop proportionality.
(In example 3 of my paper "On Dummett's 'Quota Borda System'" ,
X=B and Y=E.) Candidate Y can then kick candidate X out of
the winning set.
