Here is the wiki page for the method. https://electowiki.org/wiki/Phragmen%27s_voting_rules
I don't want to say too much in case I accidentally influence you, so I'm not going to interpret the method from the wiki page, or say what I think the result would be. The following are the approval ballots, with A and B the parties, fielding unlimited candidates.
2 voters: A1 voter: B1 voter: AB
Say there are 100 seats. How many seats would each party win under max-Phragmén? (Or just do it for 10 seats or whatever.)
Thanks in advance
Toby
