If proportional representation [PR] gets the voter off the seesaw of polarized politics, then I'm all for it.

One thing I would suggest, regardless of what form government takes, is that there should be a core group of services such as health care, ferry services, publicly owned utilities, schools, and government services such as those provided by members of the BCGEU, that are protected from interference by the government of the day. In other words, we the voters would enshrine in law the idea that these services shall not be open to any changes by the government. Only the voters may make such changes, and only with a large (ie, 75%) majority.

No government, of any political stripe, should be able to destroy the things that we hold dear.

Thank you for your work, and don't let the Liberals derail you.
