Sure, a nudge of the needle is better than nothing, but it’s not even close to enough to save us. You may as well be arguing “sure everyone is starving but eating old newspapers is better than nothing, even if the wealthy are still throwing lavish banquets every day”.
With preferential voting, there’s simply no excuse for putting such mediocrity at the top. All you’re doing is propping up their system that simply teeters between “more greed for the wealthy” and “slightly less greed foemen the wealthy” until it finds the maximum amount of psycopathic neoliberalism that the public will tolerate.
OK, sure, but what’s your solution? What should we be doing instead of these new efficiency standards that can’t be done in addition to them? I don’t disagree with your frustrations, but it’s easy to say something is not good enough without also providing something that is.
