Fully open lists - so the establishment obviously decides who is on the list, but doesn't decide who is apportioned votes. The person with most support gets total vote count, the next one half, and so on down in popularity order.

This enables voters to decide the top of the list, but also carries the risk of sudden upset, if a down-list candidate with fringe ideas is an unexpectedly popular vote.
