    Approval voting, STAR voting, Ranked-choice voting- I don’t care, just get me out of this first-past-the-pole nightmare!

      Yeah I agree, arguably the proportional representation part is more important, but it’s easier to start small and then repurpose your organization for bigger goals. I push for approval because:

      1. practically anything is way better than FPTP

      2. It requires zero voter education to implement

      3. it can easily be adapted to any kind of winner system

      4. A whole bunch of other stuff that gets into graphs and voting criterion and shit like that
