    FPTP isn’t inherently undemocratic. It’s not ideal, for any number of reasons, but it does have the advantage of a strong local link to representatives and (usually) leads to strong governments. I personally would prefer STV like Ireland has as a first choice, and as a second choice some form of MMP (like the Scottish Parliament, or New Zealand, or Germany)

      I argue for MMPR a lot, because of the local MP element. I like range/score voting too, so maybe combine that with MMPR to get the best system.
