    Australia has had ranked choice voting for decades. Wikipedia describes their system as a “mild” two-party system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Australia

    I don’t see any reason the US would have a different outcome. But I believe transitioning from our current “hard” two-party system to a “mild” one would be a huge positive.

      The Netherlands always had 10-20 parties.

      Maybe Australia should simply push for more parties…more choice is always better

        The Netherlands has party-list proportional representation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation

        Instant run-off / ranked choice voting is a different system, and where implemented I’m not aware of it leading to many parties. I believe it will make the two parties better, which is still a good and beneficial outcome.
