I’ll take it over that winner-takes-all nonsense the US has but don’t think this is not susceptible to corruption and populism.

If the population wants to elect a dangerous right-wing government having a perfect electoral system that represents 100% of the vote fairly won’t stop that.

Here it’s less than a third but they are claiming “vox populi” anyway because they are the biggest single party. The left, as always, is more split.
