    Québec doesn’t have it, I’m European but I can only surmise that were they given a chance, they’d run with the opportunity to fix FPTP. Unlike the Anglosphere they are way less stuck with the “we have to democracy the British way” mindset.

      Thank you, it’s just crazy how bad the electoral system is in the US.

      Pointless side note: autocomplete wrote “electrical system” above and that is also true.

        idn dawg, I haven’t had an issue with the US electrical grid in the past ten years and the local energy companies are leaning hard into renewables.

          The US ranks 126 by percentage of renewable energy production in the world. Also this has nothing to do with the quality of the grid.

          You might live in an area where the grid is good, but a lot of the US is an embarrassment. Propane had a storm this winter that left a lot of people without power for several days. Texas is… Texas it can’t handle cold or hot weather. California’s grid main purpose seems to be starting fires.

            Texas shouldn’t be included imo, they decided to shovel feces into their mouth and can’t be helped, and cali is an outlier among the states

              So you don’t want to include the two most populous states that account for 20% of the US population?

              Texas being a leader in coprophagia doesn’t make it not the US.
