I was told that the single transferable vote system is widely accepted. I don't know whether that's true, but I would like you to tell me whether there are any studies on this. The STV system tends to disadvantage those perceived as being the frontrunners in an election race.

Could you check to see whether that is the case? Are there any studies on this?
