    I know MMP, I live in Austria, you know, right next to Germany, and my wife’s from there. MMP is something different than instant runoff, because it’s primarily a proportional voting system with a ranked choice component tacked onto it.

    What I meant is that having 5 candidates decided by ranked choice without the proportional part of MMP hardly helps, especially if these candidates just feed into an otherwise winner-takes-it-all system.
