I'd like to see this reform happen in my country, Australia. The two major political parties always last at least 2 terms in government. (There are no midterms like in the USA). And both parties have their flaws. An MMP system might allow the smaller parties to force compromise on the brittleness of the thinking of the major parties. Labor with its policies that disregard economic consequences (boosting immigration to very high levels while the housing industry is experiencing high cost inflation) vs liberals/nationals with their heads buried in the sand about climate change and being constrained by the ultraconservative factions from making any useful centrist reforms.
Of course it's a major change to the system of government and never going to happen.
