    Ranked choice voting is still first past the post… There is still only one winner, the results aren’t spread proportionally. Ranked choice voting can give even bigger majorities with even fewer votes. Since you have only 2 real parties, it won’t change much in the US.

      You’re conflating “voting for a single-seat position” with any method of vote counting. There’s only ever one winner if there’s one seat, but there are better ways of counting votes than first-past-the-post. At least with ranked-choice, more people are happy with the outcome because the winner might be their second preferred option.
