A parallel system with some seats proportional and the rest FPTP are easy for politicians to take away as not everyone experiences the benefits.

The LPC/CPC did not face enough pushback for engaging in bad faith with electoral reform. We need to demand proportional representation from our representatives through a multi-party agreement more often if we want to make much more progress on issues facing Canadians.

It’s more so when the whole populace actually experiences the benefits of proportional representation they refuse to go back, as evidenced in other places in the world like New Zealand.
