Here we go, my followers.
Now that the election is over and people are once again talking about electoral reform, I'm going to start promoting my preference.
This lovely Aussie explains this system beautifully.
It still produces majority governments and also blocks the fringes.

Why? The more distance there is between us, the more we realize how fucked up they are. With that realization, it becomes easier to get rid of more.
