It’s still the best way even if it’s bad. Ranked choice voting would make it better.

It's demonstrably not, but westerners just keep clinging to their failed system lacking the courage and imagination to try anything different.

That’s not a political system at all. It’s a process that could be implemented in many styles of government. It is not incompatible with representative democracy either. It is a bad idea though. It means that a government has a hard time changing course, even when it needs to. Because it silences people from questioning decisions.
