Rather than trying to legitimize your aversion to the term DE  with this farcical stab in the dark at democracy, you'd be much better off simply proclaiming that you don't like DE and you won't use it. At least there would be logic to it. It looks to me like Tsubakura is using a two-round system, which is used in Afghanistan, Argentina, Austria, Benin, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Finland, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Liberia, Macedonia, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Timor-Leste, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay and Zimbabwe.

The frontrunner is not disqualified; a vote is first held between the other parties, THEN the party that wins that vote is pitted against the frontrunner. This eliminates vote splitting.
