@ChrisMayLA6 Sadly, political debate in Britain is stuck on the broad category of #ProportionalRepresentation (PR). This mostly means #dHondt or the #AdditionalMemberSystem (#AMS).
#SingleTransferableVote (STV) is used in Scottish local elections, and in Northern Ireland. #STV is vastly better PR, 'cos it facilitates new entrants, removes tactical voting, and disempowers parties. Ideal for our times, and invented by a Brit: Thomas Hare.
And STV has been used for the House of Commons.
