| >Australia has ranked choice voting and mandatory voting. What else could be done to “give” people more choices? None of the above are even close to giving people choices. Australia has a seat-by-seat majority-based system that favors the bigger parties (HoR). Choices come when there's direct proportional elections. Choices come when you don't need campaign support, advertising budgets, rich sponsors to be elected. When they media don't sway to their (owners) favorite parties and candidates. When you're not elected on an huge laundry list of a program, and then left to do whatever and backtrack on any and all promises until the next election with no consequences. When there are direct referendums for major issues, regularly, not just to change the constitution in rare cases. And many many other things besides, those are just some big ones. |
