> Why not approval voting?
Because there is no consistent meaning to “approval”; this is generally a problem with limited-buckets systems in that they force artificially creating ties with no consistent meaning; if you have to have a single-winner system, it should be a ranked-ballot system without limited buckets that does something sensible with the rankings; IRV is about the worst, IMO, that meets that minimum standard.
