"beyond voting the runner up to keep someone out"

I do dislike this form of voting. The only certainty of the outcome is someone winning that neither of you want. If people would vote for who they want then at least they can be happy if they win and accepting if they lose. If someone votes for someone they dont want to keep out someone they dont want then they are firstly a protest vote and secondly unhappy regardless of the result.
