strange system. STV gives much more interesting results and it

splitting a vote.
There is only a single seat. the system we are useing in theory should
elect the least least popular candidate. If everyone acts rationaly
(figure out who you can't stand then vorte for everyone else) then you
should should end up with a canaditate acceptable to the majority even
if they were no ones first choice. Plus it is simple to follow.
