Yes.

Preferential voting

1) allows minor parties to actually be elected, on occasion
2) means that any candidate must win a majority of votes to be elected, and therefore has a truly democratic mandate
3) Allows everyone an equal vote, and means that the majority of votes elect the candidate
4) Has worked so well in Australia that it has a Democratic Institution rating of 10.00*, as dpoes the US, a perfect score!
5) Has a civil and Political Liberties rating of 6*, another perfect score the US shares. If the system was so overwhelmingly undemocratic, why would it get perfect scores?
6) Is fairer to voters-their vote will always be important, no matter who they vote for

It works, its fairer, and it gives us an easier operation, considering we have three parties. Plus, it sticks to the basic criteria of "one man, one vote"-everyone only gets one vote, and they are all equal.

How can the US get e perfect score???
