  • Current flowes the other way - to + does this change things.

  • Electrons flow from - to + but conventional current was defined before electrons were discovered. People hypothesized that current was the flow of positive charges from positive to negative before they new positive charges couldn't flow. The convention became so established, no one bothered to change it. Besides, electrons flowing - to + have the same effect as positive charges would have flowing + to - so no, this doesn't change things.
