BC STV Vote

Almost everyone who I have talked to is confused about the STV referendum, despite the information that's floating around. Here's a sample of information, both for and against the STV. Whatever we do, we should know about it and vote...Otherwise somebody else will choose, or we will choose randomly without understanding the implications.

It's not that difficult...take a few minutes to find out if you have not done so already. I've picked these articles because they are pretty straightforward. One is even a cartoon!

FOR:

A cartoon put out by the Citizen's Assembly - STV is Fruity-Good stuff


Vote Yes for STV website

Rafe Mair Loves STV - Tyee Article

AGAINST:

This week's Georgia Straight Editorial - STV is bad for poor people


Know STV before you vote website (otherwise known as "NO STV")

David Shreck - Vote No if Uncertain


NEUTRAL:

The Tyee list's party positions on STV

CBC Explains STV and Illustrates with Ice Cream Poll

Read, talk, know, vote - it's a short commitment with long consequences or benefits...

question: penny for your thoughts?

mompoet - busy too, but not too busy to care
