Liberals prefer ranked ballot because it allows them to look like they're in support of change, and a change that on the surface looks like a good idea, but which still maintains the status quo and doesn't actually result in a more proportional government.
Ranked ballot is almost the definition of liberal.
... and I think you are again referring to a single-member ranked ballot.
It would eliminate the need for strategic voting, but, no, it would not provide any real proportionality. For that, need multi-member electoral districts, with ranked ballots -- or another voting system.
