Any history nerds who can explain how electoral reforms have come about since it seems like the incentive structure is completely aligned against the politicians currently in office ever seeing a pressing need to reform elections when it was those same elections that got them elected and so therefore benefit them personally, even if they acknowledge that they are imperfect systems.
It seems impossible. Bourgeois Democracy is such an endless crock of shit from top to bottom.
It’s a classic misunderstanding. Electoral reform isn’t something that people demand and receive from the government. It’s the opposite. It’s what the government does to release popular pressure in a limited manner.
I’m not counting tallies, but a majority of electoral reforms happened when the people were about to revolt or riot.
