Great interview with @DavidDeutschOxf citing the GREAT Karl Popper

Uh...that's one way to frame it, sure. But the list of criticism for FPTP is long for a reason. If 70% of votes are wasted and voter participation is lower overall because people know their vote is wasted...not sure that's net positive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-past-the-post_voting#Wasted_votes …
