RE: BC Election UpDate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ""In PARTICULAR One Riding on the ISLAND has ONLY a TINY 23 Vote EDGE to the NDP
So Those 23 Votes IN ESSENCE is ALL That GAVE the Current 46/45 Result__Talk
about EVERY Vote IS IMPORTANT eh "" NOW the 23 Vote EDGE Has BEEN Reduced to ONLY 20 VOTES
This IS a PERFECT EXAMPLE of WHY We Need a PROPORTIONAL Voting REGIME
BOTH BC and TRUDEAU Promised to DO IT__BUT Neither HAVE Made the Change !!!!
What is proportional representation?
Proportional representation (PR) is a principle that says the percentage of seats a party has in the legislature should reflect the percentage of people who voted for that party. If a party gets 40% of the vote, they should get 40% of the seats.
Under our non-proportional voting system, a party can win a majority of seats and all the power with far less than half the popular vote.
Proportional representation ensures that majority governments have an actual majority of the voters behind them.
Under our non-proportional voting system, in most elections, most voters don’t elect anyone to represent them. They don’t affect the election at all. Their votes are “wasted”. This is what leads to distorted results.
With PR, almost every vote helps elect an MP. Almost everyone is represented.
With PR, every law passed will have the support of MPs representing a real majority of voters. That means better policy decisions for everyone.
