[EM] A sequential PR method based on Ranked Pairs

[Richard Lung]

There's various summaries, as well as a full procedural explanation, 
with worked example, in the second part of my e-book, FAB STV: Four 
Averages Binomial Single Transferable Vote.

The algorithm is not translated into other languages, machine or human, 
both being beyond me. I can answer questions about it, tho.
