Single Transferable Vote - May 12 referendum in B.C.
Wednesday, May 06 2009 @ 12:00 PM PDT
David interviews Shoni Field of the BC-STV non-partisan association. Last week we heard former Premier of BC, Bill Vander Zalm tell us why he supports STV.
This week we hear from Shoni, one of the citizens assembly (2 people from every electoral riding in BC) that, by a majority of 95%, recommended STV be put to the population as a better system than the current "first past the post" electoral system.
Enabling better local representation and giving representatives more power to influence their party's policies, the STV will forever change the political scene if it is passed.
