In Canada we seem to think the horse is more important than the wagon and contents that horse is pulling.  I'm guessing most of our democratic peers that succeeded in moving beyond FPTP did so by simply establishing the need to change and then left it up to experts instead of politicians to figure out how.

Clearly any question about switching should have a follow up question about whether we leave how up to politicians or experts.

New Zealand switched to PR through a referendum. Clearly they have a higher opinion of their ability to rule themselves than Canadians.
