Is it a pure condorcet ordering, or are they adding any PR elements to the list?
Using google translate (which did a pretty good job), on those
threads, they say it is decided
"According to a variant of the Condorcet / Single-Transferable-Vote
named Schultz method. Full källkod kommer att publiceras. Full source
code will be published. "
Is this Schulze STV?
It's plain old Schulze, as in the Condorcet method.
It seems to me that using a proportional ordering (house monotone PR
method) would be a better approach for a party list than to just use a
Condorcet method directly. In the latter case, the list would be full of
centrists, but in the former, there would be some opinion space variation.
I seem to remember that Schulze designed a proportional ordering version
of Schulze STV as well, but it may be too untested even for the Pirate
Party.
http://forum.piratpartiet.se/FindPost176567.aspx implies that the source
code is based on the Wikipedia implementation.
