Yeah I consider our system where parties who get +4% of the votes hold seats far superior to FPTP. It forces politicians to actually compromise and collaborate and it better reflects the views of the people. Having multiple choices also makes it easier to hold politicians accountable and I believe it inspires voter turnout. 87% voted in our last election.

It would require a total overhaul of your election system but it could of course be done
