I wonder how much the NDP are kicking themselves for repeatedly sabotaging or reneging on ProRep right now. Next time a party campaigns on electoral reform we should make them sign a binding agreement to do it if elected.

Horrible timing, horrible campaign, bad governing, that's on him. Voters are disillusioned, disenfranchised and frustrated with him and FPTP. If people felt like their votes actually mattered they'd vote more. Oh but wait the NDP sabotaged ProRep. Again. Bet he wishes they hadn't now. 🤦

No thank you. Greens would be subsumed. I don't want to be the US with only 2 options. We have minority governments for a reason. The early coalition years with Greens and Horgan were good because Greens made them do good stuff. Once they got majorities the NDP went to shit. We need ProRep.

Of course they support it. No thank you. I don't want to be the US with only 2 options. We have minority governments for a reason. The early coalition years with Greens and Horgan were good because Greens made them do good stuff. Once they got a majority the NDP went to shit. We need ProRep.

With the BC Conservative Party receiving 911,153 votes in the last election, yesterday's election win is not a "mandate". #FPTP distorts their performance.
Under #ProRep, the #BCCons would have a minority government and Greens with 10 seats — yet another NDP failure.

Huge reason — probably? — for the big swing of seats in the #bcelection: Absolutely abysmal 48% turnout.
Possibly lowest ever.
This was not a giant wave of enthusiastic change makers. This was more like a very tired and possibly cynical shrug…

Green voters likely have the same issues with the NDP party leadership as do NDP members that didn't vote. Both probably have had enough propping them up. We wouldn't be in this pickle if they brought in ProRep.

Many prefer minority governments, I do. Historically they've often been better for us. It forces parties to cooperate. It's the best we can get in FPTP. But people ignore they exist and act like we're the US. I really wish the NDP hadnt bungled the ProRep Referendum, so people could vote freely 😕

Pete Fry’s win wasn’t accidental, it was collaboration with parties of similar values.
The learning was right there. And yet.
ProRep is lit.
Until you’ve won a majority 🤷♀️

The BCNDP ran on ProRep in 2017 only to give reactionary voters an out by keeping FPTP as an option in their two part referendum.

Dang @davidebybc.bsky.social, if “endless debates” was truly one of the reasons you called this election, I surmise you really aren’t a fan of #ProRep. With polls being where they are, I am not happy about HAVING to give you my vote so as not to split the left, but you HAVE to do better! #BCVotes

Yup, the game partially "works" because people keep participating in it. They ignore we have minority and majority governments, we're not the US. And then idiots voted down ProRep (although the referendum was bungled tbf) and we're stuck with shitty FPTP still. A government needs to just change it.

This attitude of strategic voting being crucial is EXACTLY what they count on and exactly why he called this election. As long as people keep falling for it and cooperating they'll keep doing it. We're going to be the US soon with only 2 parties. We ned ProRep :(

I wish I lived in Kamloops Centre so I could vote Green #prorep
EVERYONE GET IN HERE!!⚡
Elect enough BC Greens, and in a minority we’ll have the leverage to get things done. With the ultrawealthy paying their fair share, we’ll deliver:
Believe in better! #votegreen

The BC NDP needs to be taken back from the pro-fossil-fuel party establishment. Anjali Appadurai showed this is possible. We also need #ProRep to mitigate swings between only two parties.

Yeah they really fucked up the referendum on ProRep. It's not that people don't want it, It was just so badly designed and confusing.

I hope the PQ get a minority because on ProRep Plamondon is a certified slippery fish.
But both QS and the PCQ are for real and could keep him honest if they push the issue.
As a single issue voter I appreciate @quebecsolidaire.bsky.social for getting is on the agenda.

We're going back to the polls in BC two years after the last provincial election.

Why are BCers facing a costly, unnecessary snap election? First-past-the-post.
When 40% of the vote can deliver an increased majority, politicians choose power grabs over cooperation. Proportional representation removes these toxic incentives.

So with that and the Westminster system we have a few more guardrails. But I think both our countries would solve SO many problems by getting rid of this godawful antiquated FPTP system and moving to some form of prorep like sensible countries have lol. But ruling parties have no impetus to do it.

The constant state of flux in a endless pursuit of power and majority control that we see for elections at the provincial and federal levels is the clear indicator that #FPTP does not work.

What is proportional representation
Proportional representation (PR) is the principle that says if a party gets 30% of the vote, they should get 30% of the seats.
