Be thankful that you have that option. Look at the US or UK to see the failures of a first past the post voting system.
We're getting closer to proportional representation in the uk! PM just started the first step a few days ago, I just hope it doesn't stall and end up a damp squib.
And when you manage to put the House of Lords into the history bin and replace it with an upper house representing the Counties/Shires, your democracy would have arrived in the 20th to 21st century. Which is far ahead of the US...
Yeah I love it, its better that most systems I've heard of, hate how the larger parties are mostly right-wing.
Ranked voting looks interesting too, as is solves the swing votes from one to another, lots of Socialist Party voters sway to the Fascist FvD, and Liberal (D66) voters that occasionally vote Social Democrat (Pvda). And we also get one issue parties that matter for the year but loos support quickly afterwards.
I'll defend it until I find something better.
