Edit: I was wrong and have retracted my statement, I do still feel that our government is run primarily by an assortment of genitalia however.
I hate FPTP more than anyone, but asking the SC to change it is not the way. Electoral changes must come from the people.
If we are to have electoral reform, it should be by the legislature and not the court.
I know some people hate FPTP because they feel like they can’t express themselves with a vote. I just don’t understand why. The voter willing to censor themselves is so much more important than expecting a system to censor the parties. They use the USA as an example, but that is more of a two party run-off similar to France than a first past the post given how primaries work. Designed to make sure some parties don’t get elected. First past the post tends to be more diverse because the bar is lower for election.
The only change I would like to see is if an elected person decides to cross the floor it should trigger a byelection. You can’t have one person negating the vote of the entire riding.
