Why hasn't the government adopted your commonsense policies?
(Followup question: How can this be changed?)
@peterdrake
It's both, but I'd side a little more with 'it's rigged', because that's a more solveable problem.
Anyone living under a FPTP system endures a lot of distortion, but the fact that some places use STV show that it's quite possible to not have those problems.
@malin Looking forward to our first round of STV (with multi-member districts!) in Portland, OR this November.
Getting rid of the Electoral College would help, too. We're 3/4 of the way there!

@peterdrake Congrats! I have no idea where that is, but it's a massive improvement in the system.
