I still prefer approval voting over it:
http://www.electology.org/#!approval-voting/cc04 http://www.electology.org/#!approval-voting/cc04
1) elimintes the spoiler effect problem
2) most "approved"/liked candidate can win, not necessarily the most "popular" within a certain group
3) gives lesser known candidates/parties a much better chance to compete and rise up against the incumbents
4) statistically proven to be one of the voting systems with the least remorse
5) very simple (essentially HN style voting)
Range voting could also work, but it's debatable whether the extra "scores" are worth the loss of simplicity. Range voting also seems to have a bigger degree of regret, although it does seem to do slightly better with electing the "ideal" candidate.

Lower regret = more ideal candidate. So you just said a contradiction.
