Sad day. Despite all it's failings BC wld have been better off with PR. But yes the ppl have chosen, the referendum was flawed, n the press was against it as it always has looking out for it's paymasters.
A senseless, costly vote!
This is an absolute rebuke of both Horgan and Weaver trying to manipulate the system to their advantage. Good that the ndp and greens lost so deliriously. Time to turf the ndp and brown nose greens
Given the previous two failed attempts this result shouldn’t be a surprise. Now we’re left with a $15 million bill for jjhorgan ‘s adventure with voter manipulation. This minority govt needs to be held to account by voters.
Probably more like Weavers 'Leap of Faith'.
A lot of NDP MLAs in safe ridings are winking at each other and giving this one. 👍😉
FPTP is quasi-democracy. Save money running phoney elections and make BC a one party state with the Liberals permanently in power. Done.

Glad that the right wing owned media pushed FPTP through . Disgusting How come Wilkinson no longer maintains that the referendum was 'rigged'? Interesting how that idea has been lost.
