Phragmén-MMP would be better because most of us like the idea of independent candidates.
Though open lists are still better than MMP with runoff.

I suppose what I’m calling “violence” is only violence with the potential to destabilize the status quo. In many respects that kind of violence is warranted, but I hope there are ways to stably conduct much needed changes in the status quo without violence.

Something I question about it is what strategy should advocates use to try to get more people on board more or less, and to try to get it implemented.

Let's suppose for example that advocates say to members of the general public, "May we please have a statement of agreement from you for this entire slate of proposed laws?"

Then I for example am going to see that for a single-winner office, the BRVE calls for Score or Approval voting. I think that Score would be an adequate solution and Approval would be a vast improvement over status quo. However, I also think that STAR would be an adequate solution. If I endorse the BRVE, does that mean I am opposing STAR?

I think that your proposals are best for meeting the stated objectives.

If some people really want to try ranking, they could use Ranked Robin. This would give an overall ranking in terms of how many other candidates a given candidate beats. Ties in that ranking could be broken based on how many voters preferred the given candidate minus how many preferred others who tied with that candidate in the first measure.

But anyway, assuming proxy is off the table, what is the most important criterion for choosing among proportional voting systems?
