Let’s face it out PR-STV (Proportional Representation by the Single Transferable Vote) process drags the results out anyhow.
In my local council election in the 1st count only 1 candidate managed to get enough votes (in fact she got over 20.41% of the vote with 20% + 1 vote needed) and now they are on their 3rd count with no other councillor elected yet. And by the looks of it, even if all transfers would go to a single candidate for the next 4 counts still nobody would be elected. We might not get another councillor elected until the 7th count. And then we still need another 3 so it’s going to be another couple of counts taking another couple of hours.
This PR-STV is crazy even if it is supposed very democratic, if we would simply take the top 5 in my case, we would have a nice representation across the different parties.
