There's been some interesting commentary here with regard to what all of this can teach us about PR -- something voters in B.C. have been pushing for but not to the point of passing a referendum. Two, as a matter of fact. Both were defeated -- the first had 57.7% support and the second 38.82%. I supported it before but now I'm not so sure. If the past four years of minority governments are what it's like to have PR -- no thanks.
I share your doubts. Ostensibly it seems like a great and fair idea, and certainly it's about time we looked at it seriously, but the more I think about it, the less I'm inclined towards it.
