    Do it right and do it once, don’t half-arse it and pretend you’ll get around to finishing it off later.

    Momentum is hard to get, be careful aiming for the lesser option because you may not be able to ever get the public to care enough again to push for the better option.

    tl;dr: 1 change is easier to pull off than 2

      That’s the very definition of letting perfect be the enemy of good. We can have really good now, or we can debate ad nauseum for decades about what would be perfect, never reach an agreement, and have done nothing.

      Wrong. We did exactly what you suggest in the U.K. Any kind of PR is off the table for at least a generation here.

      True, but it seems RCV is the one with momentum now. I don’t think we should try to kill that momentum, because like you said, it’s hard to get.
