Now, if only we could use something more clone-friendly than first preferences... The tricky thing is that most other metrics (such as worst pairwise loss) are already vulnerable to burial.
It would be a very strange system, but perhaps IRV. Define the ordering so that if X is eliminated before Y, Y is ranked ahead of X. IRV itself is cloneproof, which Plurality isn't, so the result should at least be more clone-friendly.
I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that the Plurality variant would not be monotone. The IRV variant wouldn't be, either.
