Kevin, The question of the precise ranking of the worst single-winner methods doesn't interest me very much. I just mentioned it as a method in use with absurd arbitrary features/restrictions that is dominated (in terms of useful criterion compliances) by IRV. To reluctantly answer your question I suppose it isn't worse than FPP and is probably worse than Approval. I'd be much more interested in your reaction to my recent "Range-Approval hybrid" suggested methods, which after all use the concept of "Approval Opposition" which you invented.

[EM] Worst Voting Method
I don't see antiplurality as much worse than FPP. Antiplurality (vote against one, candidate with fewest votes wins) meets Majority Loser and Strong Favourite Betrayal. Very bad is the Supplementary Vote used to elect some mayors in the UK. It is like the Contingent Vote (one trip to the polls TTR) except voters are only allowed to rank 2 candidates. Borda Voting is also very bad. It fails Majority Favourite and "Rich Party" (meaning that it fails Clone-Loser in a way that advantages factions who field more candidates).
