I would probably elect the weakest of each party's strongest candidates, e.g. find the strongest candidate from each party and then assign a seat to that weakest of them. Once a party gets its allocation of seats, it can't be assigned any more. This is to allow small parties fill in their seats before large parties can lock them out. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
