Does your party believe the current first-past-the-post electoral system is the best way of representing the interests of British Columbians in the B.C Legislature? If so, why? If not, what form of representation to you think would be best, and how can reform be implemented?
The BC Greens strongly support a change to a legislature with proportional representation. In a democracy, every vote must count, and first-past-the-post elections leave large segments of the population with inadequate representation.
There are a number of forms of very fair proportional representation used around the world with great success, and it would be up to a multi-partisan committee and the people of BC to choose which form is best for our province.
It’s clear that there is significant desire for this to be explored further in BC, and I pledge to work towards making this a reality.
