I love this development, but we need to get rid of our first past the post voting system. I’d love to move to one that doesn’t normalize to only two parties.
Fat chance though, it would have to be universally agreed upon by those in power. Right now we have a bunch of people that can’t get away from the status quo and are their own worst enemy, and another group that can’t get away from the status quo, and protects pedophiles (not an exhaustive list for either party of course)

UK has first past the post and they have for example; Tories, Labour, Greens, Lib Dems and Reform all having members in parliament, along with a few Independents.
Australia has ranked choice and has ALP, LNP, a single Green and a bunch of Independents in it’s lower house (congress equivalent). The only sane party Australia has are The Greens
While I don’t disagree that ranked choice is perhaps a better system, it’s not the curative for democratic sanity some seem to think it is.
The only way to make that happen would be for Working Families to become one of the two major parties first, in order to be in a position of power to change it.
