First, the bad guys will never be defeated once and for all. This isn't a game or a story, it's real life with new bad guys trying to gain power in different ways all the time. Second, there is little that voting is going to do in a FPTP country that isn't supported by one of the two key players, and Canada doesn't have a method in place for citizens to propose a referendum that isn't also supported by the party in power. Further to that, the only real options for electoral reform is for the whole country to become aware enough that the parties in power feel they have no choice or to be leaders towards progress and push for it themselves, knowing it will reduce their maximum power pretty much forever after.

This battle is for a whole different war, and only tangentially may have an impact on electoral reform.
