Yeah, I saw that.  Another fucking week of being told the Nazi's will take over if we let PR win. 

Too many monkeys allowed to vote.

WE NEED STRONG, STABLE GUBMINTS TO KEEP THE ECONOMY ROLLING SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT BC IS "OPEN FOR BIZNIZ"

They added another week....

Elections BC just extended the deadline for the referendum on proportional representation (Pro Rep) to December 7th, which means we’ve got an extra 7 days to make sure Pro Rep supporters cast their ballots. [1] 

The race could not be tighter. The latest polls show that support for and against Pro Rep is split right down the middle, which means that this referendum could be decided by just a handful of votes. [2]  

If we can raise $3000, we’ll increase our calling budget and call another 50,000 Pro Rep supporters to remind them to cast their ballots before December 7th.  

If we raise $8000, we’ll also launch a massive Facebook ad campaign, reaching 125,000 voters, cutting through the “NO” side’s spin and encouraging voters to vote YES.  

And if we raise $15,000, we’ll release another round of ads to reach tens of thousands of young voters with hard-hitting “vote YES to Pro Rep” messages on BC’s most used music apps.  

Will you chip in to help us reach thousands more Pro Rep supporters before the deadline on December 7th to make sure they vote YES?

What are you worried about.  BC is filled with morons.  How else can you explain them always voting provincial Lib or NDP regardless of how hard they've fucked us?

FPTP will win.

I hope my kids enslave you all.

not enough people cared about the issue enough to really consider it. i also think a lot of those people got sucked into the fear campaign of it being a bad idea and voted no because of it.

It sucks, but having proportional voting was never going to save us from ourselves.  Fear works every time.
