interesting letter to the editor of North Shore News from Nancy Pow, North Vancouver.

STV opponents fan the fear of change

Here are two quotes which I found particularly helpful in this debate:

"It's very telling that opponents of STV have little positive to say about our current system. Instead they try to engender fear that STV, which is successfully used in other jurisdictions, wouldn't be good for us. It's interesting to note that in Ireland, voters have repeatedly voted to keep STV."

"With BC-STV, voters will have more choice; local representation will be more effective; and we will have a legislature that more accurately reflects the will of the voters."
