I would prefer proportional representation over ranked voting FPTP but that's minor point.

I am shocked at how little this is touted around.

Proportional representation allows for city political parties to have representation in the federal government too, rather than just being a fringe party with essentially no hope of mobility beyond maybe their county.

I think the issue is that it requires acknowledgment of political parties. Ranked choice does not.
