[EM] Your standard model?

Your standard model election system?

I sort of asked this question before, what is your standard model election method.
The answer I got was something like this: 
Not (Anglo-American) single-member system but more in line with the historical post-war European trend to smaller multi-member systems.

For the record, I give an answer, also:
I accept the verdict of John Stuart Mill (greatest philosopher of science in the nineteenth century) that great discoveries sometimes occur independently by contempories. Mid nineteenth century, both Carl Andrae and Thomas Hare invented Personal Representation more usually called Proportional Representation. Called by Australians the quota-preferential method. (At about the same time, Darwin and Wallace came up with natural selection theory. And as Enid Lakeman pointed out, in How Democracies Vote, the single transferable vote allows political opinion to evolve.)

The STV exclusion count has been criticised for premature exclusion of trailing candidates. In principle this is true, but not noticable in multi-member constituencies; the larger the better. A Last Past the Post count is as irrational as First Past the Post. Proportional Representation needs to be more consistently proportional with a rational exclusion count, matching a rational election count. This I have studied as Binomial STV, which I would like to see tested in actual elections.
