Electoral Renewal Canada on Bluesky

Instant-Run off Voting is a winner-take-all system that is similar to First-Past-the-Post.

You can see in Australia that, just like FPTP, Instant Run-Off creates one-party majority governments at the expense of third party voters.

Proportional Single Transferable Vote is a better alternative.

"2022 Australian Federal Election results shown in two pie charts. Left chart shows 'First-Preference Vote' with Labour at 32.6%, Coalition at 35.7%, Green at 12.3%, Independents at 5.3%, and Other at 14.1%. Right chart shows 'Seat Count' with Labour at 51%, Coalition at 38.4%, Independents at 6.6%, and Green at 2.7%. The Labour Party won 51% of seats with only 32.6% of first preference votes, illustrating how Instant Run-Off voting, like First-Past-the-Post, creates a two-party dominated system."
