You assume they want electoral reform at all

They don't.

They'd rather lose now and keep the system that would net them another majority of seats (without a majority of votes) in the future, then implement a system that would see them never realize another majority ever again.

The Liberals would rather lose every seat in Parliament and be reduced to zero than implement real electoral reform.
