What we get now, because they’ve hung on so tight to FPTP is a really big chunk of people voting tactically against the party they don’t want.
I honestly would love an option to vote against a party (as in, give them -1 vote) rather than voting for a party. Kind of a “I don’t care who wins, as long as it isn’t this person”, or “I don’t want this person in office, but I don’t like their opponent enough to vote for them.” I think it’d be very telling if you had an election and all candidates had a negative vote total at the end.

Haha yeah that would actually be really good.
