What's wrong with that country?
WRT their elections[*], the main problem is that they're badly broken. See e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/01/14/the-most-depressing-g... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law (as Rick Moen has repeatedly mentioned here) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_past_the_post#Criticisms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College#Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Ruins_Everything (S1E7, populist version) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering_in_the_United_States Apparently the last major reform they had was to take control of presidential debates away from the suffragettes - a NON-partisan group - and instead give it to some BI-partisan group. i.e. any growing third party is now explicitly told to Fuck Right Off WRT debates. Not an improvement. [*] at the federal / state levels, anyway. Apparently some e.g. mayoral elections actually use STV.
