Correct though you are, it’s still so disheartening to sometimes see people blame others for splitting the vote when it’s ultimately a shitty game we’re subject to.

I’m truthfully curious how you think that might work! I can absolutely agree that an approval style method is much better than FPTP. My one concern is tactics via bullet voting (thus returning to a sort of pseudo-FPTP), which gives a preferential/ranked ballot the edge in my view.
As for approval approximating a Condorcet winner, I suppose my intuition isn’t making it immediately obvious to me how it would accomplish that. With a multi-checkmark ballot you wouldn’t be able to do the head-to-head pairwise comparisons to determine the true Condorcet winner.
Always happy to chat electoral systems! :D

Well someone doesn’t know their Westminster-style parliamentary conventions!
In the Westminster parliamentary tradition, those MPs who are part of the governing party/coalition sit on the right side of the chamber relative to the speaker and are known as “His Majesty’s Government”. Those MPs who are not part of the governing party/coalition sit on the left side of the chamber and are called “His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition”.
This is the only definition of “left/right” in politics that I’m willing to recognize because the more common one reduces the complexity of political thought to a fucking line and is thus bad and should feel bad.

You keep going on and on about His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, and now you’ve singled out the backbenchers? wtf?
