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.
Spoiler: It's not.
But electoral reform has happened and still does in the world. So it is possible to get electoral reform, even if it is just a less-worse form of bourgeois democracy.
it has only happened with a gun pointed at the head of the government
