Is it that bad for the greens to hold the balance of power, especially since they didn't pick up the phone when the Conservative leader called?
I'm ignorant of BC politics so I don't know if the greens are similar to the wacky pro-homeopathy anti-wifi federal green party.
I dislike majority governments, but I also hate the idea of a party that wins 8% of the vote holding all the cards, and only the seats from 2 of the wealthiest areas in the province.
I agree on all fronts.
We need a better system in BC, and across Canada, that would see proportional representation in our Government.
That's a really good answer. Thanks!
I don't think it is a bad thing for the Greens to hold the balance of power, in fact I enjoy minority Governments compared to Majority governments.
The Greens in BC are a lot different from the Federals in many ways, and I would vote for them if they had a chance in my riding, but at the end of the day I have always voted NDP with a nod to the Greens because the NDP has a more realistic and attainable platform.
As far as BC politics go, in a nut shell, it is a damn mess and always has been. haha
