Or just do a normal proportional parliament in which each party gets as many seats relative to how many votes it gets.
I mean that doesn’t work for Presidential elections, you need Ranked Choice voting for that, but still, having a real democracy for the parliaments instead of FPTP would be much better.
Yep, Mixed Member Proportional system means that you get to elect someone to represent your area, and know that the overall makeup of the parliament will be proportional to the overall party votes received.
And as you mention, a form of ranked choice voting is still needed for any “finite seat” vote, such as local representatives, where you’re electing individuals rather than groups.
FPTP is a horrendous system and all it does is incentivise strategic voting, which is problematic because ideally we should all vote for whatever suits our interests and beliefs, without worrying about whether our votes are being wasted.
