Unfortunately Americans are not reading this thread :(

So MMP solves the problem, yes?

Ranked choice with a single member is better than FPTP.

5 candidates is closer to proportional but it is flawed because it is "low resolution".

One could theoretically have a system to vote for hundreds/all seats for finer resolution but MMP is a tried and tested way to achieve the same.

We have come full circle to my initial comment...

Ranked choice allows for coalitions like in AU.

Maybe you mean Multi Member Proportional voting like NZ and DE. That is the best system but complicated. US cannot even deal with converting to metric so MMP would result in exploding heads.
