Top Two would be a better reform than IRV in single-winner districts.
If they want to use IRV in multi-winner districts, that is pure proportional representation (PR).
The 9th USA Parliament has been using PR for twenty consecutive years and it works fine:

IRV is FATAL — regardless of ALL of the math morons hyping it for the last 20 plus years.
34 LMR
33 RML
16 MLR
16 MRL
99
M = Moderate loses.
50 L beats 49 R.
M has a mere 99 votes in 1st plus 2nd place.
Head to Head –
65 M beats 34 L
66 M beats 33 R
Means ZERO to the IRV LUNATIC FANATIC math MORONS from Hell.

Should be Condorcet head to head math with an Approval Voting tiebreaker.
Pending which —
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
Top two still locks voters into a strategic choice based on who they think might have stronger support, rather than who they think is best for the job. Instant Runoff Voting is the least game-able system, diminishing the effect of strategic voting. It allows voters to effectively express more about the range and order of support.
