You wanna guess which party has been amiable towards electoral reform and which has been hostile?
I'm guessing both are amiable to reforms that benefit them and oppose those that don't.
Allowing reforms which would ditch the two uarty system would hurt both parties. That's why it will never be implemented by any of them.
Yeah that's why RCV hasn't seen any progress anywhere in the US recently. /s
Given that both parties are now facing 3rd (4th?) party challenges, it might actually be in their interest to pass RCV. In the short term, it would reduce the spoiler effect, even if has a long term risk of undermining the duopoly.
