Yes, I agree I don't think link aggregators are a good place to get encouragement because there is a lot of negativity behind the anonymity with people saying doing anything is impossible.

That was a terrible video that doesnt explain your points.

"Terrible" video because it doesn't jive with your confirmation bias. I disagree the video is very made. Why are you dead-set on a system that only works to entrench the 2 big parties. It shows how passing the alternative vote makes democracy less fair in the long run. The top performers on the global metrics are often pr countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Denmark and Iceland while Australia is trailing well behind.

How so? Thats just a transparency issue, if we know that 50% of the Labour votes were originally Green votes then that definitely sets a tone.

Which labour can conveniently ignore because they have a stronger stranglehold on democracy as they receive the lower ranked votes thanks to the funneling effect.

No because instant runoff-ranked ballots still has the same issues: lack of accountability, under-representation of small parties, hostile politics and the lack of action on issues. The government needs to be heavily pressured to pass proportional representation. It is not difficult for the politicians to do, they're just inventing excuses for themselves to avoid making British democracy fairer for everyone involved.

Here is a video on why the alternative vote is problematic.

You would need to group up the districts and maybe add extra seats to the parliament to ensure the most proportionality as possible. As in Ireland the districts contain 3-5 seats each.

Oh nice there's a french server now!

Not on Lemmy.ca in my experience. LW tends to have issues because it is the largest instance pushing boundaries.

[-] Sunshine@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Lemmy has been real smooth recently.

I really need to make Piefed my default on desktop. As I like topics feature as it makes it really simple to keep track of specific regions on any instance.

I just need to become more used to the UI. I just feel a little confused about with the lack of sub count and my personal unfamiliarity of where everything is haha.
