I do have that concern but based on how RCV has worked in some real elections my concerns with it a major enough that it might be worth it to advocate for a different system. I don’t want electoral reforms as a whole to go down because of imperfections with RCV.
Do you think Australia/Ireland have those loopholes too, or is there something else we need to fix first before it’ll work here?
Look up STAR voting. Similar but better system.
And Schulze is even better than that, but we’re never going to get anything better than FPTP if we can’t coordinate on a first step.
Heck, I feel a little dirty inside calling IRV by “RCV” to appeal to the general public.

I mean gotta coalesce around something cause right now debating before the door is even opened is seriously killing momentum.
Edit: Think back to occupy. People defeating each other before the real battle even starts is a guaranteed way to lose.
I’m not familiar with how elections work in those countries, but from what I do hear, Aussie politics is pretty rightwing.
