DING DING DING.
The Triple E senate is something that has been brought up (similar to the american style system) as well as free votes in the house of commons by the Conservative/reform party.
You can't convince people to change because the ones who are in power right now are there solely because of the current terrible power distribution system, and they want to continue to stay in power because of it.
The power to change lies solely with the people who got there in the first place, therefore are unwilling to change it.
If you see another road to election reform, I'd like to hear it. People have put their time and ideas into things that would change the dynamics of the political system, however those voices are lost in the wilderness and fall on uncaring ears.
If you have a solution to this problem, come out and say it.
