No matter which political party we support, we all lose control over the Victoria government at the moment when we mark our ballot. The system forces us to do that.
But BC Refed says that there is a better way for us to govern ourselves.
A BC Refed government will make the key changes needed to give the citizens input into how this province is run. In 1991 the BC electorate voted 83% to add direct voting to our system, but no party will legislate that.
So if the party you have been supporting will not give the citizens a comprehensive and automatic direct vote mechanism such as Refed promotes, then there is only one way to get it. Vote only for a party [any party] that will introduce the Swiss system of direct voting to BC. If you do not know the Swiss system, then check it out.
Constitutions are mere “goddam bits of paper” [to quote a certain powerful president] if citizens can not control government between elections.
This is not a plug for BC Refed. It is a plug for any party that will give BC a constitution that includes the direct vote.
Remember - to think clearly is a political act. Vote yourself into power at the next election by voting ONLY for the direct vote in BC. There is something suspicious about a politician who opposes it.
