“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Really, do you go out and purchase an unknown bag of goods, when you go to the store, and then wait until you get home to see what they've given you?

OKAY ... there are three questions I'm wondering about, when it comes to British Columbians deciding on IF we change how we currently vote. And ... if we do, what that new system will be. Question #1 Why are we not getting an explanation of who will decide on the proportional representative going to legislature.   As it stand now, they won't be voter elected but potentially, at least, party hacks.   Right now many / most of us complain that our elected representatives DO NOT in fact represent us; instead represent they party they belong to.   Basically they do as they are told.   On the other hand, maybe they will be voter elected, perhaps by using the votes each has received, and picking the one(s) who received the most.   Then again it would be fair to ask, " Will they be an MLA from the region they were running in, or just a floating not responsible to anyone but the party they represent ?" Are those not good question...
