  Romania really needs to fix their election system. They are using a system where the winner is whoever gets more than 50%, but if nobody gets more than 50% they hold a run-off vote between the top two from the first vote. The problem is that Romania has several viable political parties, which would be great if they used an election system designed to handle that like ranked choice, but in a top two run-off system has a high chance of electing someone that a large majority of the voters rank near the bottom of the candidates. In the election you are referring to there were candidates from 10 different parties plus 4 independents running. I believe 6 of the parties were right-wing and 4 left-wing. The right-wing parties got 47% of the votes, with the top 3 of them getting 19.18%, 13.86%, and 8.79%. The left-wing parties got 20% with the highest part getting 19.15%. Independents got 33% with the highest individual getting 22.94%.

    france actually has the same. this is how they decided the president of france for 2 decades. forcing french people to choose the lesser evil. but somehow romania doesnt have this freedom because they chose wrong apparently.
