Line 21:
In '''preferential bloc voting''', each voter places the numbers 1... x on the ballot paper (where "x" is the number of candidates on the ballot paper). Candidates with the smallest tally of first preference votes are eliminated (and their votes transferred) until a candidate has more than half the vote. The system is re-started ''n'' times with the elected candidates removed and all votes returning to full value.
It is generally possible to make a majoritarian or utilitarian Bloc voting method at least semi-proportional by sequentially 1) electing the best candidate according to the Bloc method and 2) reweighting the ballots that supported that candidate somehow.
It is possible to do '''Bloc Condorcet Voting''' with any prespecified Condorcet method.
