I think there’s a general feeling among election-heads that MMP is the best possible voting system. But every voting system can produce nutty results.
I favour Australia implementing STV in the HoR, but I’m sure there’s potential problems with it that I haven’t considered.
The constant comparison that is made between sprawling new world cities and compact old world cities is not helpful. You can’t turn Atlanta into Barcelona. You can however turn Atlanta into Perth which is just as sprawling but has much higher transit use.
Too complicated to think in your head imo. I go with:
Early: 0,1,2
Mid: 3,4,5,6
Late: 7,8,9
You can further split mid into
Early mid: 3,4
Late mid: 5,6
Potentially also
Mid mid: 4,5
