In this model, seats allocated as follows:

Votes cast are put in bands of:
 0-19.9%     : 0 seats
20-39.9%     : 1 seat
40-59.9%     : 2 seats
60-79.9%     : 3 seats

The largest vote share is allocated seats according to the above bands.  The
next largest vote share is allocated any remaining seats up to the maximum
allowed by their vote share. Each next largest vote share is allocated until
no more vote share is left. Any remaining seat is allocated to the remaining
largest vote share.
