Do you get much of a sense for electoral reform in the U.S.? Are the people/politicians pleased with the current setup or do you see a demand for changing the system?

I do not expect electoral reform in any stretch or fashion. The system has been rigged to affect a particular group and with the courts stacked electoral reform is a pipe dream. Because the electoral college is part of the constitution it would require an amendment and ratification by 2/3rds of the states. That won't happen because the Republicans control a majority of the states and are not for changing anything that impacts their grip on power.
