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.
Theoretically: by electing politicians ideologically committed enough to risk not being re-elected and/or who believe a new system will make it even easier for them to get re-elected.
In reality: those politicians never win in the first place, if they’re even on the ballot.
It’s sort of like the thing where an individual politician isn’t necessarily being directly told what stances to have by their donors, but rather the donors select politicians that already have those stances.
It’s not that being elected makes them start supporting the system they got elected under, it’s that the only people who are elected already supported the system in the first place.
