Today's game is: under multimember, party list, proportional representation, big rock candy mountain of legislative election reform, does this get worse. I think so. I think I vote for a party whose only difference from a much much larger party is "doesn't run undignified ads." it wins 2% of seats.

It's been going for almost ten years! And there's kind of a homeostasis effect, where if the time to total completion gets under six months, I go add a bunch more to the stack
