Wonder if they'll suddenly remember about electoral reform if they find themselves on the wrong side of first-past-the-post.

    Nope, because they know that FPTP means they stand a chance at a majority in the future.

    PR would mean permanent minority status, which, in turn, means both a) less corporate cash, and b) increased pressure to actually deliver on popular policy, rather than be caretakers for five years.
