The only countries that have STV systems for their national legislature are Malta and the Republic of Ireland: two very small, very homogeneous countries, nothing like our large, diverse Country, or most of its Provinces. In Ireland, STV was imposed in 1920 by the British who decided to keep FPTP for themselves. Today, the UK government is in the process of reverting to FPTP for the London Assembly where PR resulted in too many fractious parties.
