Single Transferable Vote : Addendum

Countries which use Single Transferable Vote

Republic of Ireland
Australia (in TWO different forms!)
India (upper house)
Malta
New Zealand (specific uses)
Scotland
Northern Ireland
British Assembly
European Parliament

Not as popular as you'd think, considering the positive spin I gave it. It's mostly an odd intermediate to full proportional representation, which is adopted by around 70 countries worldwide, including a decent chunk of Europe (seemingly pioneered by Germany).
