People were all too ready to give these cruel ignorant racists all the power in the province.
The thing is that many people are just unhappy with the current government and don't know wbout things like this and don't spend time on social media too.
And then there's the ones who are fed propaganda by feed algorithms.
There are 11 other political parties and independents people can check out. There’s no need to support the two corporate parties. Not to mention people donate and volunteer to the conservatives and ndp too much. They need to earn your vote not demand it. Support proportional representation as well since you cannot divide a complex society into 2 camps jeering at each other like children in the legislative assembly.
Ofcourse we support proportional representation, except most of those parties we don't agree with and/or they just don't have a candidate in our districts.
Also NDP rn has a minority gov anyway so they might be forced by the Greens to try something.
What really pisses me off is that we had a referendum on this in 2018 and 61% voted for the current FPP system.
Some people were. The majority, not so much.
The problem with first-past-the-post is that it can give the minority all the power in parliament and the bc conservatives have more than enough voter-share required to win a false majority without accountability. Do you actually trust them with the notwithstanding clause that has never been used in bc before?
The bc ndp must pass the single transferable vote recommendation from the last citizen’s assembly before they potentially enable the fascists to raise into power.
Cons are fash
