    The EU requires its members to abandon FPtP elections? Is that for all electable branches of government? That’s awesome.

      IDK if there are situations where it’s not as bad as in UK. If the position has limited power, it may not be an issue. But in UK it’s not just the government, it’s the entire parliament, meaning it is crippling the opposition that is the main check on the government, and creating governments that have a vast majority, so even if some of their own don’t follow the party line, they can press things through with majority anyway.
      I have only heard it mentioned specifically regarding UK parliament.
