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.

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