Referendum race close, get your ballots in
Ironically the current referendum on B.C.’s electoral system is itself first past the post (FPTP). Fifty per cent plus one vote will win it. Since polling shows that only about 30 per cent of ballots have been returned and the race is very close, our future electoral system may very well be determined by slightly more than 15 per cent of the popular vote! That’s FPTP for ya.
I’m not asking anymore, I’m telling you: get your *&#^&) ballots in. You only have a few days left.
