It’s complicated: 1)Corbyn was a terrible candidate definitionally in that voters overwhelmingly disliked him, yet liked manifesto; 2) Labour going “remain” (my incorrect view)would not have worked—getting killed in Brexit areas. 3) Sanders/Corbyn comp real, but also limited.

It’s like a self imposed electoral college. I mean we have this too. But we have primaries where we decide who gets to run in each race. Half kidding. But that really is a decent way to look at it.

Wouldn't some form of IRV help in a Westminster styled system? If your candidate doesn't get enough votes to win your vote goes to your second choice. That would help end situations where the minority crazy party wins because the other parties split the rest of the votes.

The problem is not the Westminster system but FPTP, if you had preferential voting systems like Australia then you don't have that problem

Less of a problem in a Westminister System with preferential voting ... Even less in a system with mandatory preferential voting. Where, contra expectations, conservatives do win!

The Westminster system doesn't require FPTP, which is the real problem. With ranked choice voting, voters would be free to vote their preference, and the candidate most acceptable to a majority of voters in the riding would win.https://reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2017/05/why-trudeau-abandoned-electoral-reform/ …

Labor+Lib Dems+Greens+SNP is over 50% of the popular vote. Seems like FPTP is just shit.
