Comment: The problems with First-Past-the-Post have been known for a long, long time - The Progressive Party of Canada campaigned against it more than a century ago, and the Swiss abolished it almost a century ago.

It is hard to see how anyone could characterise the Progressives as "an elite group".  What a laugh.

Roughly 60% of Canadians want to get rid of FPTP - that must be another "elite group".

No country that has abolished FPTP has ever gone back to it.

It is an inferior, ridiculously easily abused, electoral system.  It is enormously vulnerable to manipulation in the age of Big Data.

That is why the paid trolls are out in force every time there is an article on electoral reform.
