Hey, you can blame us Brits for first-past-the-post "democracy". That system made sense in ye olden days when you sent your local representative to London to represent your shire's interests, but makes a whole lot less sense in the information age.

Oddly enough though, the parties that hold all the power don't seem that interested in reforming a system that gives them all the power...

At least y'all have a parliamentary system without an imperial presidency. Obviously, there are some huge flaws in the UK's government (even setting aside the Brexit catastrophe) but at least PMs cannot influence government for decades by appointing politicized judges to the Supreme Court.
