I’m down for proportional representation (PR) for voting in elections, with each voter having a single transferable vote (STV).
There are many voting systems. PR is nice, but almost any of them would be better than FPTP.
Exactly, seriously just give me anything.
Stv works in Australia + Malta and Alberta used it until the 50s, mmpr in New Zealand and Welsh + Scottish parliament. Australia also has instant runoff for the lower chamber so like we don't have to use one form everywhere, use what makes sense. I'm pointing out commonwealth nations as we generally all have some form of Westminster parliament, but there's other examples too, Germany uses mmpr afaik
Germany has a better way of representing the people but it also has its problems. We have a comically big parliament because of the way our system works
