<BR>
Recently I've been having a private discussion regarding the differences between the Meek and Newland-Britton methods of counting an election by STV.<BR>
<BR>
With regard to the example:<BR>
<BR>
A 61<BR>
A>B 60<BR>
C>D 50<BR>
D>C 9<BR>
<BR>
for 2 seats, I'd be interested in knowing who list members think should win and why.<BR>
<BR>
Newland-Britton elects AB and Meek elects AC.<BR>
