- jcrawfordor 5y agoSort of an aside to your point, but Australia is actually a bit of a leader in the rigorous consideration of election practices. Today we mostly think of this in terms of Australia having pioneered large-scale use of STV, but it goes well before that... the predominant voting method used in the United States is often called the Australian Ballot, for example. Australia has a history of unusual voting policies which have proven successful, although certainly some that have proven unsuccessful as well.
