Maybe so, but from the outside voting as an American looks stifling. I wouldn't want to vote for either of the two parties, although both hold some positions that I agree with more than the other. Either of the two parties promoting voting reform would be like turkeys voting for Christmas. I don't know if America will ever be able to transition to proportional representation because of entrenched interests. But here in New Zealand it was having a trump-like character, Robert Muldoon, in control of our economy last century that led to MMP. Having a single deranged (and occasionally drunk) person micromanaging the economy, arbitrarily imposing tariffs and trading rules and imposing price controls and freezing wage rises made people realize that we wanted our king to be symbolic and not interfering with our freedoms.
