No se entiende que no se entienda... tan pero tan sencillito

Didn’t know, interesting. (Switzerland allows voters to rank options in popular initiatives.) Political actors learn, not always for good, how to use institutions. From time to time, a renewal is required, but the problem is that those with the capacity to do it are mostly driven by self-interest.

Gracias, Marta!

Rules shape the incentives of political actors — parties and society alike — so maintaining a degree of stability is essential, I fully agree. My point about the “fiction” refers to the growing weight of negative mandates: voters choosing against someone rather than in favor of someone.

I wrote this book review a while ago, from where my opinion comes www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Impossible to decide out of context. Plurality (1st) was expected to reduce incentives x party proliferation, but today it could help an extremist gain power. A runoff system increases legitimacy (broader support) but can also be negative or somewhat fictitious. Time to think of something else!
