Sorry, but just doing a drive-by that says, "Trust us, we think this is wonderful, you'll love it, change your system to something that's even more complex and opaque to the voters than the current system" isn't going to convince many people.
And just maybe doing a drive-by that, worse, says "what you're doing is wrong; trust us and all will be solved" is supercilious and patronizing. It is unlikely to give us a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Perhaps the two people who have built this system have something useful to offer...but evangelizing at us when they are not a part of our community is irritating as all get-out.
I'm really glad they've seen the light and all. But if they knock at the door, they probably won't be nearly as entertaining as the Mormons.
