Are you for or against ranked choice voting? Why?

I am for it. It ultimately presents the least objectionable candidate. I think it would really temper the extremes and possibly even break down limited party systems to free up more electoral choices.

Used to have that for President and Vice President -- a disaster.

Not sure if I like it or not; adversarial parties does tend to mean wider representation of opinions and provide (ideally) a check on any one party becoming dictatorial.

@ChipmunkErnie I would not say it gives a wider representation of options. Both Republicans and democrats in the US, for example, are bought out by corporate interests. The only real difference is which corporations put more support to which party.

@ViciDraco Judging but what I've seen -- though admittedly very little -- ranked voting still had party candidates, often running against each other as in the primaries.
