Ranked voting is still harmful because you end up with a binary result. A party either wind 100% or lose 100%. It's better with a proportional system where all parties benefits from voters everywhere without any benefit to suppressing voters in certain locations and without the issue of a zero sum game where supporting another party is harmful for your own. By having more than one winner in any given location (and splitting that area up into multiple smaller constituencies makes this worse not better) you end up with a friendlier and more nuanced political climate with parties cooperating more and making compromises.

@tobeytransport2802 There's ways of selling the concept to politicans in both countries. And quite frankly both parties in both countries contains a lot of representatives that are fed up with various side effects of the first past the post system and that might be convinced to support a change if you can get enough people behind you. Also, while a first past the post system is of course messed up to the extreme it can still be beaten with a lot of effort. Sanders was a Independent for instance. You can get your foot in the door outside the parties and quietly work on making changes if you want.
