@mehere8038 I fail to see where the system was wrong. What you called a "key issue". You seem to believe that a candidate MUST have a certain amount of top votes. But why? To keep food examples, imagine 2 (extremised) examples: A) Everyone's 2nd favorite food is served. B) 10% get their favorite food while the 90% of vegans go hungry because that food is steak. Which meal represents the will of the people more? Or let's say a Mr. Trump and a Mrs. Hillary are going against each other. If there was a Mr. Middle Ground that nobody would vote for first but everyone would happily chose as second choice, should it not be Mr. Middle Ground who gets elected instead of one of the other candidates that half of the people abhor? That someone is elected who has few or even none 1st place votes is not a bug, it's a feature.
