The Single-Member-Constituency system presently used, but modified with Ranked Ballots to permit people to express their second and third choices, should ensure that everyone has at least the chance of getting their second choice elected.  That cannot be a bad development - but it can be improved on.  Each voter’s first choice in the Ranked Ballot could also be used to indicate which party list the voter preferred - from which a number of Top-Up Members of Parliament could be selected.  This system would be local, simple, generate strong governments, but also increase the number of members from small political parties.
