Pretty positively. Our politics have trended generally to the right as have most western countries (especially those with large Murdoch media owned presences) but the 2 major parties still sit relatively close to centre, and particularly wild right wing elements have been shredded at the last round of elections.
The hard-rights attempts at US style minority led major parties seem to be invalidated by the voting population, so I’d say our system of ranked choice voting with mandatory participation is working very well.
Very well. How has this ended up impacting things?
