- lotsofpulp 5y agoI do not know enough about other countries voting systems to be able to know why they do or do not have more parties. But I do know the situation in the US, and I have concluded it is not going to change unless we change from first past the post. I also do not know why anyone unhappy with 2 party situation would be unwelcoming to ranked choice. It can only help.
