Vote PR or right wing will win

We desperately need a proportional-representation electoral system that insures the inclusion of the entire electorate. However, the B.C. Liberals’ choice — our current first-past-the-post voting system — excludes the majority of ballots cast from having any effect on the governance of the province. Sticking with FPTP would ensure the Liberal ideology of privatization, deregulation and cuts to social programs will continue. That would be heartbreaking — British Columbians, mainly young people, having to leave because they can’t afford to live here.
