The key point about Electoral Reform is that it increases the power of the elector against the Civil Servant.
In practise a powerful single party heirarchy which gives a "strong government" simply forces through the policy of the civil service in most cases. It is, therefore, quite difficult to affect government policy when the civil service stand against something (eg PFI where it is the Treasury that push for this against pretty well everyone else).
