The really funny thing about voting reform is there's a bloc which agrees first past the post is the worst option; but reformists are violently split between IRV, approval, and Condorcet-math-ranked-voting camps, so their support is split and they can't accomplish anything. This is the exact problem voting reform is meant to fix!
In effect we (North American culture) are continuously running a first-past-the-post poll for what voting system we should have, and first-past-the-post keeps winning.
