    You don’t succeed the first time. That’s why you adjust and try different methods.

    No one cares enough to force change.

    That’s certainly not true as the canadians give the liberals a minority so they’re forced to compromise with the smaller parties that’s how we got universal heatlhcare.

      You’re missing my point. Under FPTP, small parties are rapidly shrinking and losing power. Outside the two party system, only 30 seats are held currently (down from 59), and this will continue to shrink.

      The only directly political way this will change is if BQ and NDP form an alliance to force election reform through. How likely do you really think that is, given their lack of action in the past?

      Indirectly, you need en-masse, organized voting for small parties and or a massive, enconomy threatening strike. Neither is going to happen unless things get MUCH worse.
