I don't think the problem is how we vote, the problem is who we vote. The Parties need to be restructured or abolished completely.
The alternative voting method is still one person one vote. Your vote only counts for one candidate when it all works out. Just if your first choice has no chance of winning your vote goes to your second choice as that first choice is removed from the list during the count, and so on. You're not wrong that who we vote for is a problem, but it's a fact that first-past-the-post elections do not lead to the most representative government we can achieve.
