You need a system like Ranked Choice voting to prevent the issues that cause strategic voting and the 2 party system.
It’s amazing how people here still don’t know what ranked choice voting is. I think video games that have voting, on maps or whatever, should implement ranked choice voting. It’s do wonders to help them usually, and it’d also bring awareness of it to people who haven’t heard of it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in a game, but a popular game with it could do wonders in getting ranked choice voting passed.
What is “Ranked Choice voting”?
Short (mostly correct) answer is instead of picking one candidate, you rank all of them, then when your first choice loses your vote goes to your second choice.
Lets you vote honestly without worrying about who’s most likely to win and gives less common options a chance
this honestly sounds awesome
The UK had a referendum on whether to adopt it and voted against. You ahould have seen the insane rubbish the “no” campaign said about it
We can have nice things once we pass this math test.
