Necessary electoral reforms for the USA

The U.S. needs the following electoral reforms:

Unicameral legislatures (abolish the senates) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism

Party-list proportional representation for legislative elections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation

Instant runoff voting for executive elections (mayor, governor, president) -

Election of the president solely by the popular vote (abolish the Electoral College).


That is all.

The first thing is implementing these reforms in the 50 states. There's no way the federal government is going to implement something before the states. Just look at renewable portfolio standards (RPS). By the end of 2010, over 35 states will have an RPS and the federal government is STILL considering it.

Getting these reforms done in the states first is the first step. The Democrats and Republicans will probably be against these reforms on the state level too, but many states have citizen initiatives and referendums: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiatives_and_referendums_in_the_United_States#Types_of_initiatives_and_referendums

I imagine it will take decades for these reforms to happen at the federal level, but slow progress is still progress.
