VG Cartoon on this
The problem with that is arbitrary. In practice you don't have to vote for everyone. In a fair election you are not required to vote for someone you don't support. The cartoon requires you cast a vote for someone you don't wish to vote for. When properly implemented your vote simply drops if you didn't vote for them.
The issue isn't alternative voting, which is vastly superior to first past the post, but the implementation details put in place in efforts to undermine it. At the end of the day, first past the post REQUIRES a two party system. It's funny how many here are claiming the system which defeats a two party system is bad. Which is really their way of declaring their support for a corrupt, two party system.
