So delighted at the news from France. Definitely needed that. The French two-round system may be bonkers but it does give the public the chance to say “non” to an inadvisable outcome from the first round.

Witchzilla reshared this.

It’s not bonkers. It’s not as good as ranked choice. It’s FPTP but “Vote! No, vote properly!” which could be better but is certainly not as bad as the UK system (apart from the (Northern) Irish system which youse should all adopt).

@Conor Mc Bride Well, bonkers is relative. As a good little liberal I like the idea of STV (as used for Assembly elections in NI)

And everything in the whole of Ireland apart from Westminster in the North. Wouldn't be without it!
