I used to think that Australian preferential voting was the best practical method. Though the Ranked Choice Voting debate in the US has taught me that STAR voting and approval voting are both easier to count and avoid some edge cases.
- marcus_holmes 4y agoI think the Aussie system is flawed because of the party preferences thing - but that's more because the average voter just wants to tick a box for their party and be done with it. I'm not sure that the perfect system would actually be practical. I always vote "below the line" - it's more fun trying to rank all those micro-parties in order of how much I agree with them :) It's still miles better than the UK's system
