The British are not protesting against this nonsense enough when this is the behavior that still being espoused from their government. You do not get to them let off the hook!

No because instant runoff-ranked ballots still has the same issues: lack of accountability, under-representation of small parties, hostile politics and the lack of action on issues. The government needs to be heavily pressured to pass proportional representation. It is not difficult for the politicians to do, they're just inventing excuses for themselves to avoid making British democracy fairer for everyone involved.

Here is a video on why the alternative vote is problematic.

You would need to group up the districts and maybe add extra seats to the parliament to ensure the most proportionality as possible. As in Ireland the districts contain 3-5 seats each.

The UK would be a lot better off following Ireland's steps in adopting a single transferable vote system. Yes it keeps the local representation while providing the voters the most sophisticated way in expressing their approval of the candidates as one can rank 3 or 7 or even up to 42 candidates if they like.

The first-past-the-post invention has served it's purpose.

The raytracing requirement is fine but having to deal with denuvo is a bridge too far.
