The answer to this question is yes. The more I look at single winner methods the more flaws I find with all of them. I would probably now describe IRV as the least worst single seat method as opposed to the best.
What about situations where PR is not appropriate?
Would it be accurate to say that you disagree with Arrow that a voting system should be monotonic? (IRV is not)
