Lmao good luck getting electoral reform. In Canada a few years ago the libs were elected in part due to their claim they would commit to reforming the first-past-the-post system currently in place. Then once elected they funded studies into reform and in the end decided against it, since fair elections would harm their standing greatly and only serve to boost the ndp and other smaller parties. Of course they didn’t frame it like that when they announced it, instead they went with “our studies show that people couldn’t decide on exactly how to reform the electoral system so we just aren’t going to do anything about it.”
Anyone who benefits from the broken/working as intended electoral system has 0 motivation to fix it since that’s what got them power in the first place. Q
