Could you clarify this for me? Are there two large districts covering the
whole of Slovenia (or half of Slovenia each) where reps are elected using
borda, and then a nation-wide electorate using proportional representation?
Or is there some other kind of system?

Billy would also be the Condorcet winner. There is some argument for
minimum quotas in Condorcet, but that does kind of mess the whole thing up.
I'm not sure if I agree, but there is certainly an argument that Billy
should win.
