Given the low interest in the STV method among the presenters
and the high interest (70% of the submissions) in the MMP method,
it seems strange that in the upcoming presentations only 2 are
speaking for MMP while 3 are speaking for STV. The MMP approach is
more widely used and easier to understand. The voting method for
STV is quite complicated and possibly a voter turn off, which is
unfortunate for our limping democracy voting level.
What's going on with the Citizen's Assembly? Is it being co-opted
by some ideology or group rather than being representive of the
majority of the citizens of BC? This looks suspicious to me.
