If you're not satisfied with the return of the Howard government, or you've ever been unhappy with results in the past, then you might be interested in a fairer method of calculating the winner. Named after its French creator, the Marquis de Condorcet, the Condorcet method is described (and evangelised) at ElectionMethods.org, and you can even try out some examples of its implementation regarding the 2000 and 2004 US Presidential elections.
It is more complicated than current systems, but some might consider that fairness is more important than understandability.
