I'd like to shine a light on the electoral processes, everywhere. If there is a problem with power somewhere, you can often find First-Past-The-Post is being used for voting.
The mechanisms applied to creating power are often flawed, and will exaggerate problems. Implementing voting systems like Single-Transferable-Vote, can work for forming governance condo-boards, committees, municipal to national governments. These electoral reforms, can limit consolidation of power, open the field to new challengers, and reduce voter apathy.
Seeing things through an electoral reform lens, a lot of solutions seem clear. The big challenge is making progress when power doesn't want reform. (eg. Federal electoral reform in Canada)
