Second ranked voting systems can also be manipulated as we just witnessed in France
@brandoncaswell5907
Simplistic thinking ... the parties, even those that split the vote, still have significant differences in total policy, despite the similarities ... and that is why the different parties exist in the first place. Turns out political positions are not black and white, but many shades of gray. Also the US is a binary party system, so it does not really apply in the same way.

The preferential system in Australia is better. It results in the least disliked candidates winning.
@Blackmark7410
There are flaws in every system. One of the advantages with our current system of parliamentary elections is getting to select a named candidate, that represents your area. With proportional representation that doesn't happen in quite the same way because they take the percentage of the overall vote and assign seats accordingly, but not necessarily representing your local areas views. I think that direct representation needs to be maintained, as an important part of accountability. I do however think that Parliamentary elections should be separated from the government election, maybe replace the house of Lords with a proportional Represented house, and Government being a separate entity. I open to suggestions.

He’s basically saying it’s all good if it’s his politics that win the day.

We're sunk.
@syphernynx4186
Is this why Trudeau is still pm or cuz he’s teamed up with Jag

You're all welcome to change your voting system, its your country. Oh no, you just want to bash Britain for something you choose to use. 💀
@ColonelSanders17
I like the electoral college of the United States.
@toddhellyar4167
Electorates in those countries vote for MPs to represent them. The US does it with States. Very little fucking difference except the US system truly is a 2 party system whereas third parties can hold the balance in the other countries.
@noticedruid4985
Its seems like you don't like the popular Voting system because that is what First past the post is. The guy with the most votes wins that seat or area, Pretty simple. If 51% vote for X and only 49% vote for Y then X wins. What you like to see is if 45% vote for X and 35% vote for Y and 25% vote for Z for a single seat. You want Z to keep voting until your preferred candidate wins? There's nothing wrong with the Popular vote, especially in the US when its a true Two party system. You only got X and Y, whats so wrong with the popular vote where the one with the most votes wins? Each State is allowed to perform their elections however they choose and for the electoral College choose how to divide that up as well. But typically most states choose the Popular vote system, the candidate with the most votes wins.
@davidhouseman4328
Yeah, you don't understand maths if you say it's guaranteed not to represent you.
@TBeermonster
Immensely superior to any of the PR systems.

Great Britain never was a democracy 😂
@burn_burn_satellite75
What’s undemocratic about having multiple representatives representing a constituency, and the representative with the most votes being elected? What you’re really saying is it’s undemocratic/not fair if your team loses.
@peted3857
We are a republic not a democracy in the USA. We are backed by a constitution.
