Ranked ballots solve this problem completely.
I want mixed-member plurality (MMP)
We should have the single transferable vote.
The fact that people can't agree on which alternative to FPTP is the preferred option is a signifigant contributing factor to why Trudeau abandoned his attempt to change the electoral system.
And why it'll be so hard to get any future politicians to take on the effort, even if they do agree that change needs to happen.
That’s why we have citizens assemblies but too many corrupt mps who fall under the conservatives and liberals voted against establishing having one.
It’s a random sample of the population who reviews over the course of 4 months which electoral system is the best for our democracy before making a recommendation.
This avoids the politics since politicians can’t come to an agreement on which system is best.

STV is just a type of ranked ballot though, it's not a separate method.
Working in consultation with data scientists and election statisticians, I'm sure a government could easily determine which methods would meet all of the criteria necessary to ensure a fair and free election. The problem is with calling a referendum in order to implement it, which I don't think is actually required.
It literally cannot get worse than FPTP. I am okay with basically any voting method except FPTP and MMP (it's just FPTP with party list seat linkage).
