WTF is FPTP? Our current provincial system, the good, the bad, the questionable
Talking all things FPTP here, the good, the bad, the questionable. This is our current system of voting in the BC government. Right now the 2018 Referendum on Electoral Reform is happening, and we have exactly 1 week before voting closes. Only 27% of people have voted so far, so we need to get our asses to the the polls. Why is this vote so important? Well, I talk the ways that things work right now. You be the judge if it sounds fair. Next episode I'll talk all things about the alternative options: Proportional Representation, and it's options: MMP, DMP, RUP.
