Looks good, as long as the voters are willing to let the candidates have
weighted votes in the assembly.

I have a theoretical question, though. Suppose that some multi-winner
method elects a number of winners with weighted votes. If it's the case
that ranking X higher always gives X a higher weight relative to the
other winners, does this method never waste votes?

Or does "not wasting votes" mean more than just making the weights
responsive to the voter preferences?
