The Marxist-Leninists won despite 2 other parties competing, for anyone unaware.

Is there something I’m missing? They won because they got the most votes between three parties(but not a majority) and then the most again during the second round of voting between the top two. They won both times.

Ideologies aside your comment is written like you suspect foul play or something. “It’s broken because they could never win if there was competition” is just a terrible take so I assume I must be interpretting it wrong, right?

I'm a Marxist-Leninist, it's a good thing.
