    The problem is that all voting systems have undesirable corner cases and anomalies. The voting system isn’t really the main problem, it’s the political culture, corruption and the inconsistent application of rule of law.

      There is a difference between undesirable corner cases and the garbage that is first past the post. Changing it to even ranked choice increases engagement and how politicians politic. So changing the voting system does indeed help a whole host of problems. There are obviously some other things that need to change like having publicly funded elections, increasing the House of Representatives and having multi member districts, making the Electoral College obsolete, etc.
