Good idea: preferential voting
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferential_voting
The comic explains pretty well why its a good idea. In Germany the NGO MehrDemokratie also started a motion to put a system into place that allows you to cast a secondary vote in case your primary selection does not make it into parliament.

On this day, 30 April 2022 food delivery couriers working for the Deliveroo app in Dubai went on strike, shutting down the app, and defying a ban on strikes in the United Arab Emirates.The drivers were facing a pay cut from $2.79 per delivery down to $2.38. The UK-based firm, backed by tech giant Amazon, also intended to increase the length of the working day up to 14 hours per day.The workers, all of whom were migrants from South Asia, remained on strike until May 2 when the company agreed to abandon both proposed changes.The following week, riders for delivery service Talabat also walked out demanding a pay increase.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7946/dubai-deliveroo-strikePictured: a photograph of the strike taken by one of the workers, Asad Mirza * If you enjoy our social media posts be sure to check out our podcasts.
