Cullen's idea is classic fait accompli. He proposes a system where he gets what he wants then counts on apathy to entrench it.
Also, "making every vote count" is such a ridiculous argument. If your vote for a losing candidate means your vote doesn't count today, that is true of any system you could imagine. These proposals are not about making votes count. They are about which parties we want to give preferential treatment to.
FPTP favours large parties. Proportional representation favours small parties. Ranked ballots favours the Liberals.
