This kind of voting forces the existence of two party systems.
Suppose you have two parties one left wing that gets 60% of the vote and one right wing that gets 40% in every district. Right now the left wing always wins.
If the left wing party splits into two blocks of 30% each, the right wing always wins.
So if you want to win, you can never split from the large parties, even if you feel unrepresented.
You’ve got it backwards.

If you"re unrepresented, how is it winning?
