Colby Cosh: Election reform the wild card B.C. has been waiting to see


I hate to use a clunky legalistic phrase like “question or questions,” but the Electoral Reform Referendum 2018 Act is terribly non-specific about this ballot. voters were given a binary choice in the 2009 reform referendum, and reform lost 61-39.) In the meantime, that election reform referendum, which was the key concession for which Weaver negotiated last spring, is still a blank canvas. And maybe it won’t be tempted to offer a form of “proportional representation” that imposes a high minimum threshold for legislature seats. If all of this pans out, it would be a likely recipe for a near-permanent Green presence in New Democrat-led B.C.
