Just a quick question: I've been looking at STV by Meek's method: my reference is here: http://www.bcs.org.uk/election/meek/meekm.htm Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the rate of convergence of the iterative process for updating the candidate "weights" - the authors give it 500 iterations to converge to +/- 0.00001, but this seems to just be an arbitrary figure that works most of the time (but not all the time). I've tried looking at it myself, but it's beyond me at the moment. Anyone got any ideas? Or anyone able to point me at a URL or suchlike which looks at such questions? Thanks, Martin
