2015 Federal Election

Tony Blair made a fair bit of noise about proportional representation before he was elected. Then he won a majority government with the current system, and realized he could just do that again instead.

I don't think a Liberal majority government (or any other majority government) is very likely to pursue electoral reform. The NDP and Greens have both had long-standing policies of electoral reform (since there's little hope of victory for them without it...) so ookpik is right that their holding the balance of power and using reform as a condition of support is the best chance. The closer the Liberals (or anyone) comes to control of the House, the less likely it gets.

While I think you may be right, it would be short-sighted for a Liberal majority government to put electoral reform on the back burner. In particular, if they were to go after a simple ranked ballot, which is arguably easier to implement, they stand the most to gain of any party.
