How will you be voting in the STV (single transferable vote) referendum and why?
Do you know how it works? There is a shit pile of info if you google "bc stv." Edumacate yourself.

I'm voting yes in hopes that it will produce more accountable governments. As things are right now the party in power can take a minority of the votes and still end up with a huge majority in the legislature. Once in power with a majority they can do whatever they want with effecticve opposition.
