Is this just the Instant Run-off version of STV that you're talking

example here - http://rangevoting.org/PRcond.html - would that be
resolved under any form of STV in existence?
The DPC says that at least one candidate should be elected from each
coalition preferred by more than 16 + 2/3 of the voters. Since the first
place votes are disjoint, that in effect means
Elect B.
Elect C.
Elect D.
Elect E.
Elect F.
So the DPC would exclude A, yes. The Droop proportionality criterion
considers it more important, in this case, to give each
greater-than-Droop block of voters "what they're due" than to give them
a compromise.
