STV Goes Down To Defeat

*And so with gods and men the sheep remain inside their pen
though many times they've seen the way to leave.

  2. As it's said: It's hard to fly with eagles when you're surrounded by a bunch of turkeys, or something to that affect.
    Disappionting, but not surprising.

  3. STV with its ranking system is just a way to dilute the votes of people who want smaller or less popular political parties. It's a farce designed to reward the most partisan faction - which in BC is the centre-right. Get over it.

    Mixed member proportional is a proven system that:
    - provides local representation, and
    - averages out with the popular vote.

    I like the "one person/one vote" aspect of MMP, too.
