But .... if the public does want to make changes then a ranked ballot (which the Liberals prefer) would be the worst of all the options. The argument seems to be that the percentages aren't fair, the Liberals got 184 seats with slightly less than 40% of the vote, with a ranked ballot they would have got 30 to 40 more seats.

This is exactly why I don't want a referendum. It becomes less about which system is most sensible and promotes better representation and more about "well the red team wants this and I vote blue, so I'm against it".
The last thing we need to do is politicize this decision.
