It's all about power

Justin Trudeau promised that 2015 would be the last election using first-past-the-post, that he would "make every vote count" and that he would listen to experts and follow evidence-based policy on electoral reform. In the end, when 88% of the experts said proportional representation, Trudeau said no. The five months, 4.1 million and thousands of people who participated in the consultations (87% supporting PR) was down the drain because Trudeau said "It was my choice to make."

In June 2017 he admitted that the only electoral system he had ever been willing to consider was Alternative Vote, another winner-take-all system supported by almost nobody - 4% of experts, no other parties, no citizens groups. Simulations showed it would have given the Liberal Party about 220 seats instead of 184. It had the dubious distinction of being the only system less proportional than first-past-the-post.

Electoral reform in BC is now in the hands of the people - and BC voters can lead the way by voting for a proportional electoral system!
