I think the answer is: it depends. A weird take on the U.S. constitution: it actually established 4 "branches" of government. Citizen oversight was one of 4 powers designed to keep government in check. It's hard to look at today's America and feel like citizens have much oversight of government. Our "branch" has been systematically eroded. The current first-past-the-post system has been gamed heavily by two parties to reduce the impact citizens have on the outcome of elections. RCV helps restore civilian oversight (many forms of voter suppression, i.e. gerrymandering, are less effective under RCV). My current thinking: feeling this will result in more "left" or "right" leaning governing bodies is a reflection of how citizen's want their government run. If the "silent majority" is right leaning, this will result in right leaning politics; left would yield left. But the "leaning" of the politics is less important to me as an outcome. The most important outcome is that citizens are restored to their rightful role in government: acting as a proper "check and balance" to the other 3 branches.
