Single-member ranked ballot is not a proportional system, so I'd argue that it doesn't make every vote count. Having said that, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that that's what they'll go with and am withholding my judgment for now.
As long as they end up with a quality system I'm okay with it, even without a referendum. That's what political capital is for - doing good things that may be unpopular.
