Every alternative voting system I’ve seen promoted my mainstream sources would make the current system worse by keeping winner-takes-all single-seat districts and making it even easier for triangulating ‘centrist’ politicians to defeat challengers. (such as Single Transferable Vote, Instant Runoff etc.)
The actual way you break the grip of the center right and center left parties fear mongering about each other to keep them both in power is with a proportional party list. “parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats are distributed by elections authorities to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_repr...
So it will never happen because the current centrist parties want to keep their power. Oh well lol
