    Yeah, that’s the problem unfortunately. Tearing down and replacing FPTP with PR on a national scale is not going to happen when the only parties capable of changing it benefit from not doing so.

    I would like to hope people can put their differences aside for long enough that they can build up grassroots movements leading to a third party that actually wants to fix the system. With everything going on recently and decades of politicians intentionally sewing division between the working class to strengthen their own positions, I’m not so optimistic though.
