> If a candidate receives more than half of all the first choice votes they are elected immediately

There is far more choice on the centre and left than there is on the right. The two leaders in the polls are neck and neck.

If you are centre-left, you may wish to be defensive and put your vote for the most likely to win, and your second on the one you believe in.

It still sucks.

If a candidate of the x tendency gets more than half the first choice votes cast, I think it's pretty-much game over for the anti-x tendency whatever the voting system, or does the math disagree with me?

What?

What makes you think that one of the candidates will get 50% of the vote? And what makes you think that allocating the other voters differently will change that?
