PR systems are more prone to give seats to extremist views—such as far-right racist parties. There’s no direct analogue here, but there might be reasons that allocating any money to outlier views might be undesirable. The usual approach in electoral systems is to set a threshold, commonly 5 percent, below which the party gets nothing.
If you do PR with a threshold like that, voters still have to guess whether their preferred charity will make the threshold. Do you think that poses some of the same downsides as IRV here?
