Megastudy testing 25 ways to reduce antidemocratic attitudes, partisan animosity

Ranked choice voting seems like the most reasonable choice - the current FPP system lends itself to strategic voting and a two-party system with increasingly polarised parties.

Ranked choice allows for a middle ground to form independently of the parties at the outer fringes - it doesn't necessarily mean the centre wins, but it does exist and have a chance.

It's one of the reasons politics in Ireland are so stable and monotonous. Mind you, I'm not complaining. I chose to live here precisely for that reason.

It doesn't scale very well into a large number of votes or a large number of candidates. Unless you decentralize everything and let the computer handle all of the details. But both of those are huge issues.

The Pollyanna view of ranked-choice voting presented on TV doesn't really work out in the real world.
