For those who don't want to read all this and prefer a good, informative video on NaPoVoInterCo (as CPD Grey puts it):

Not a fan of that, It should be majority of seats won wins and not nationwide.

In Aus we have preferential voting (which limits a similar concept like that video but for that seat only)

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/explainer-what-is-preferential-voting


Essentially The most popular votes may not win because the person who come second gets preferential votes from the 3rd candidate, which puts them over the line.  Who get's what preferential votes is up to the citizens, however the parties at poling time give out how to vote cards which if people follow will cast those preferential votes to WHO the party wants and not who you want. A lot of people sadly don't understand how it works and follow the provided advice on how to vote lol.
