Hallo,

in my opinion, the Schulze STV method is
the best multi-winner election method:

The Schulze STV method is a method of
proportional representation by the single
transferable vote that doesn't compromise
any of the properties that are satisfied
by the Schulze single-winner election method
("cloneproof Schwartz sequential dropping").

Furthermore, the Schulze STV method minimizes
the vulnerability to free riding and vote
management strategies.

The Schulze STV method is very complicated
because I try to create a multi-winner election
method that minimizes all known strategic
problems simultaneously.
