Is STV Dead?

The POLITICIANS HOPE IT IS, the MEDIA will consider it a DEAD ISSUE after the 2009 referendum.

STV IS NOT DEAD IF THE CITIZENSHIP KEEPS IT ALIVE!

 If we allow STV to die we are continuing to allow the POWERS THAT BE to control our LIVES and the MINORITY WILL CONTINUE RULING THE MAJORITY. In the 2005 referendum the CITIZENS were 57% in favour of STV, a large MAJORITY. This strong support put a real scare into the POLITICIANS. With such a strong support the POLITICIANS could not ignore the wishes of the CITIZENS and promised a SECOND REFERENDUM.

 Keeping STV ALIVE is not difficult when we already have a LARGE MAJORITY of the CITIZEN in support of STV. If we allow the POWERS THAT BE to KILL STV, we are telling the POWERS THAT BE that the MAJORITY has NO POWER and does not need to be taken seriously.

The POWERS THAT BE built the coffin for STV when they put the SECOND REFERENDUM off until the 2009 election, 4 years later. They put the NAILS IN THE COFFIN when they implemented a STV-GAG LAW in February 2009. This STV-GAG LAW forbid any discussion on STV during the 2009 election campaign.

The CITIZENS need to tell the POWERS THAT BE, that it is not that easy to KILL THE NEEDS OF THE MAJORITY! THE MAJORITY NEEDS TO HAVE ITS VOICE RESPECTED!

In May 2013 we have the PROVINCIAL ELECTION that follows the 2009 election, THIS IS THE TIME TO LET THE POWERS THAT BE THAT THE STV IS STILL ALIVE.

This is the time when we need to make a BIG NOISE and a BIG SHOW that ELECTORAL REFORM AND STV IS NOT DEAD! We have 6 months before the coming elections, we need to organize demonstrations and petitions that support STV. We need to ask the CANDIDATES if they support a system where the MINORITY RULES THE MAJORITY? Does the CANDIDATE RESPECT THE MAJORITY? What are the CANDIDATES going to do about ELECTORAL REFORM? How are they going to handle the LOW VOTER TURNOUTS? We need to go on the OFFENSIVE!

We need to make ELECTORAL REFORM a major issue in the coming CAMPAIGN!
