More like shitty electoral system that facilitates the choice of a lesser evil instead of the choice for the best candidate.

Sounds like the United States.

They have proportional representation and a ton of parties. It's a completely different kind of suck. Although I guess they also are presidential.

Definitely less worse but still shitty indeed

So what would be a good system? FPTP also sucks, or at least does for local minority voters like me, or if both parties become weak for whatever reason like in the US.

Democratic centralism.

Maybe ranked choice voting, coupled with a parliamentary system instead of a presidential one ? I don't think there is a perfect system but it would probably move things around in a better direction.
