If ever there was a country that should be using ranked choice voting or something similar it is Romania. They had 14 candidates, with a lot of overlap in where they were on the left/right spectrum, and they use a "top 2 advance to the next round" system if nobody gets a majority in the first round. That's a situation that makes it fairly easy for candidates that are liked by a majority to get eliminated due to vote splitting, leaving a second round where a majority are not happy with either candidate.
