This looks like a good argument for proportional representation. This might be worth bringing up when the next discussion of FPTP vs approval vs ranked choice takes place.
What is missing (imo) is what EAs can do about it. Just having the “correct” opinion is not enough, and most countries are probably reluctant to change their constitutions.
Absolutely. In my view, support for consociational democracy and institutional innovation is a more general cause, where activism can be effective. Participation in primaries, support for moderates, rank voting, welfare reform (vg. Unemployment benefits contingent on macroeconomic conditions).
PR parliamentarianism at a national level is distant goal in the context of a more comprehensive activism.
