    Odd comparing to what? Two rounds is the way to ensure the president has a majority: first you vote for who you want, second time you veto. This is how you elect presidents in countries like France, Brazil, Romania, Portugal…it makes sense :)

    PS: Macron did not resign, these are not presidential elections, this is a legislative election only.

    • The top two candidates may be quite polarising for example, whereas a 3rd candidate might be acceptable to all. Or there could be a large group of quite mediocre candidates.

      It’s not bad way per sé, but it’s basically a band-aid around FPTP, instead of fixing the problem properly.

      Actually you can never vote for what you want, unless it has a decent chance to make it to the second turn. The condorcet method would allow it.
