@mattwilcox Right. Australian politics demonstrates it’s not a panacea, but it entirely avoids a bunch of failure modes of other systems. And in addition, democracy sausage! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage

@mattwilcox I think one practical consideration is, you vote in a different jurisdiction depending on where you live and you need to notify the relevant authority when you move—there’s no concept of “registration” like there is in many places in Europe. And frankly as an Australian I consider that itself a foreign concept. (But also as an Australian I think voting should be ranked choice and compulsory…)
