Oh, it is definitely only an incremental improvement. In a proportional system, like Germany’s, even the small parties have some room to breathe, and to make a difference.

Canada’s election is an example of what FPTP produces – 60% voted against them, but the Conservatives have a majority in Parliament. The same thing happens in the US, and people are expected to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils, because minor parties are blocked by state and Federal laws from having an equal chance in elections. New York has a hybrid system that would require a book to explain, but it is marginally more democratic than other states.

The real problem is that most governments tend to be based on property, where you live, rather than people, and that flaw resulted in the US Civil War.

I thought I would vote no but in the end I voted yes, not that it would make a huge difference in the outcome
