What would it be like, if we had a fair voting system in B.C.?
If the way we voted was accurately represented in government, how would this shape the politics of our province? If we had a voting system that allowed us a wider choice of candidates and let us vote without concerns of wasting our vote, how would this affect our voting choices?
Could such a change encourage more people to vote? Is it possible that a fair voting system could help us to move away from the polarized deadlock that has been our political landscape in B.C.?
We will never know unless we are willing to give it a chance. Support the change to BCSTV (British Columbia Single Transferable Vote) on the May 12th referendum.
