I'm not for IRV, you're confusing that with a 'normal' or two round runoff. In a normal runoff there are two rounds, the second round is a few weeks or a month

I'm not for IRV, you're confusing that with a 'normal' or two round runoff. In a normal runoff there are two rounds, the second round is a few weeks or a month after the first one- the French, most famously, do this for their President. I agree that IRV is pretty terrible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-round_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-round_system
