We must move towards an MMP proportional representation system in BC. I am a minority in the sense that I am young and I vote, and everytime I do it feels hopeless because I know most often my vote will not count. I can understand why many people, especially in my age group, feel as though their vote is pointless. In many instances it is, because our system skews the results so badly that half the population is left out! No wonder we have a low voter turn out, and it will just continue to drop if we do not act to reform our system. If we truly care about democracy we will move towards a pro-rep system in time for our next election. Make it count.
