Since its seems difficult to get voting reforms in,
and it is often half baked.
Maybe there should be a dedicated government
ministry for consulting with professors and
academic experts in optimising and increasing
the fairness of election.
A dedicated department will be better able to
propose new laws and reforms that would often
be stymied by political infighting

Election reform is a fanciful notion. As any elected government will maintain the process by which it got elected, I don't see how this changes. |

The only chance would be for the people to vote the
old system out. I suggest that if there were an
election where (in the US, this is) the two major
parties can't muster a majority between them, that
would indicate that the people are sick of the whole
deal and want change. See

In Canada, newly elected Prime Minister Trudeau is
effectively doing exactly this, though only temporarily—he's
committed to implementing their recommended reforms by
a specific date, after which they'll disband. |
