I think this sounds like the 'Single Transferable Vote' system. The Liberal party here (3rd party, soft-left, greenish, libertarian) has been campaigning for it for ~40 years... it stands to gain probably the most benefit.

It's more representative. It's more likely to produce a middle-of-the-road, compromise-style government, more acceptable to more - but less likely to match the largest number of first choices (maximin rather than minimax). This might not be such a problem for a Presidential election, however, as against a parliamentary one, since you still only have one winner rather than a probable coalition.
It's certainly not my favourite PR.
