I have a preference for the Schulze method as well, since it is generally
superior to many other methods, even if somewhat opaque in its mechanism.
Examining the comparisons at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method#Comparison_table
should give an indication of its strengths.
The only problem is likely to be finding a good implementation in software.
There is a refinement of Schulze described at the article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_STV which has a python implementation
at
https://github.com/bradbeattie/python-vote-core/blob/master/pyvotecore/schu…
more interestingly, an online voting service at
https://modernballots.com/
Thoughts?

Certainly my sense of the various discussions

that there's near-consensus on STV as the best alternative to the
current system. I intend to draft a motion with new election rules for
STV; if anyone has other systems they'd like to put forward I'll be
happy to draft election rules for them.
Well, the WMF use the Schulze method [1] for its board election so that
could be considered as an option.
