Germany isn't that much better.

We also have FPTP-voting.... meaning a party for old, conservative dipshits wins almost all direct mandates, even tho they weren't elected by the majority of the people in the voting district.

Look: All won by the CDU

I am currently working on a comprehensive list, charts and data set that will help you understand why Germany NEEDS an electoral reform.
I like how our "Zweitstimme" is: that system can stay.

But the 299 direct mandates, which are the CDU/CSU's LIFEBLOOD have to be reformed.

FPTP is a gigantic failure. Ranked Choice voting or smth similar to that is the only way we can get people to be excited about voting again
