French 2-round, UK first-past-the-post, and US electoral college provide quite the demonstration of systems designed less for true representation than for imposition and exercise of power. Compare with South Africa's far more recent pure PR, for instance, where % of votes = % in parliament.

For 25 years the left has backed the center and center-right to keep out the fascists. Now, with Macron’s presidency in ruins, the center and center-right will have to back the left if they really want to keep out the fascists. You’ll be unsurprised to learn they’re equivocating like a mofo.
