Electoral reform in Chile

Over the years, the Chilean binomial system is one of those things that I blog about periodically but which never changes. Now apparently there are 10 members of the conservative UDI ready and willing to do so.

The challenge of electoral reform, though, is that you cannot simpy abolish something because you need a replacement all set first, and as yet there are a lot of proposals but no consensus. That debate is still quite young.

One of the last times I blogged about it, Sebastián Piñera was saying it wasn't a priority. Two years ago I wrote that there was a really good chance it would be reformed. Oh well.
