Because the Tories and Labour don't want it!
That's why the referendum on the Alternative Vote failed last time around, Labour wouldn't back it and the scummy Tories had their rich mates put out posters like "Vote No to AV or the Baby Dies"
Both of these parties know that if we actually had a representative voting system they'd not get into power based on the "Buggins Turn" principle that we get fed up with one of them, so the other lot get in, but then we get fed up with them...
The last thing either of them want is for us to find out that there's a better way of doing things that doesn't involve them!
