Hmm, it is IRV except but it uses a different elimination order. A candidate from the smallest party is eliminated first (and presumably the candidate from the party with the fewest votes if the party has more than 1 vote). I assume that the party totals are re-calculated after each elimination? That means that the largest party doesn't automatically win (as their candidates would be eliminated last) ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
