Dear Editor:
Re: B.C. referendum on proportional representation.
I am disappointed in lobbyists and fear mongers who are warning of fringe elements.
Yes, we might get other views in the legislature. But what I fear more than the five per cent that could get a voice from people who have voted for them, as is their right, is the 40 per cent who don’t vote every election.
With everyone voting, we might have a more moderate vote, or maybe a quiet revolution, or we just might get a minority government that truly compromises and works together for the benefit of the people.
Take the money out of politics, and the government wouldn’t be governing for the corporations.
