The British don’t seem to be doing so well anymore with their parliamentary system. it would appear that there is no governmental system that can’t be manipulated effectively anymore.
I get your point, but what those systems do is they don’t let massively unpopular candidates win by dividing the opposition and they let third parties compete without splitting the vote.
the osa was dreamed up by the tories and enthusiastically implemented by labour. even if proportional rep or whatever alternative to fptp was established before the act came into force, there is little chance that one of these main parties wouldn’t have had enough influence to push it through regardless
