Dear Markus, and if I am correct, your proportional ranking method deals with Hylland free riding optimally? Could I send you the file we used in the election to see what result you would get? Could the file be on any format? I am not a programmer, so it would help. My objection to Condorcet methods is so far, that it promots burial and thus elects "nobodies". Thanks.
