    Not only that, but Australia’s actual ballot is leagues better, too. Ranked ballots are a great way to weaken (unfortunately not eliminate) the two party system, which is unfortunately also the reason the United States will never see anything like it. (At least not in the foreseeable future.)

      Yeah we do have single member seats in the lower house though which is a completely broken system.

      Most of Europe recognises that, our frienemies across the ditch recognise that.

      Consensus seeking and coalitions are much more representative forms of government than single member winner takes all seats.

        Yep, this is why the Senate is much more representative, and why the big parties who control the House of Representatives hate it so much.
