Weirdly undermentioned how Malta's pure two-party system postdates the introduction of STV by 40 years, like that's quite an interesting detail!

Tbh, I find this sort of missing nuance/detail is too common in party/voting system literature. E.g., how the level of party consolidation (vs fragmentation) in the Netherlands is often ignored, or that the reason micro-party support in UK is lower is they stand in so few seats.
