THE POLITICIANS AND MEDIA will think the whole BC-STV issue is dead because of the 2009 failure of the referendum. We can bring STV back if we bring a 'GRASSROOTS' movement promoting STV.
- 2005 the Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform (BC) brought the BC-STV to us, and the referendum came within less than 3% of becoming LAW.
- 2009 and the POLITICIANS were successful in burying BC-STV.
- 2013 we need a GRASSROOTS movement in order to bring BC-STV into LAW. The STV MOVEMENT.
We have almost 9 months to build this MOVEMENT before the next election - May 2013. We may or may not be able to get the BC-STV issue on the 2013 ballot but we can throw a wrench into the POLITICAL CIRCUS that is coming this SPRING. With a "STV MOVEMENT" we can disrupt the script that the Liberals & NDP may have planned for the SPRING.
We really do not want the BC-STV issue on the 2013 election ballot anyway. The first demand is to have a BC-STV referendum ON ITS OWN. We want the referendum to be after the 2013 general election and before the 2017 election.
The "BC-STV REFERENDUM" needs to be the only issue on the ballot!
We need to build this MOVEMENT and if you want to participate please send and email to
