    The cons wouldn’t be upset as instant run-off ranked ballots enables the 2-party system more so than first-past-the-post.

      That’s complete BS and you know it. I know that STV isn’t your preferred election system, but in every jurisdiction that has switched from FPTP to STV, it has led to more diverse and viable candidates.

        However most of the time when people are talking about ranked voting that’s what they mean.

        We would discuss the term single transferable vote instead.
