Absurd. Ranked order voting grants every ability a vote has in FPTP, without the caveat of fear and coercion that forces voters into the 2 party system.

FPTP is by far worse than any preferential vote count.

FPTP will literally throw your vote away if you do not vote for one of the two perceived """"popular"""" parties.

It will also "literally throw your vote away" if you do vote for one of the two perceived "popular" parties. This is an old observation.

And yet, interest groups that vote continue to get better results than interest groups that don't.
