droop is not better than hagenbach bischoff okay suppose we have an instant runoff election where we have votes with party a as first preference and party b as second preference we also have votes with party b as first preference and party a as second preference using the hagenbach bischoff quota of both parties reach quota and there is a tie using the droop quota of neither party reaches the quota but as they have the same number of first preference votes neither can be eliminated and we have a tie anyway so using the droop quota does not eliminate ties it is a much more ugly formula and has the property that parties with majority support can recieve a minority of seats can anybody give me a good reason why the world is still using the droop quota
