At PR debate at UNBC. disappointing that one key question can’t be answered. What will ridings look like? Because of large geography, northern BC has 11.5% of current MLAs with about 7% of population. Does PR mean northern BC loses 40% of their MLAs? #nobcprorep #bcpoli #notmyBC

PR: party must negotiate with smaller parties/capitulate on key policies. Small parties exert disproportional power. It counters argument PR provides everyone with an equal vote. It doesn’t. disproportionately empowers votes for fringe parties. interior-news.com/opinion/propor… #NoBCProRep

So much BS from #nobcprorep. Facts: All 3 proposed PR systems have local MLAs, in some cases combined with regional MLAs. All elected by citizens. More accountable than now: voters will have choices, but no big increase in # of MLAs. No wonder #BCLibs terrified. #pr4bc #bcpoli

In today's edition of @theprovince our President and CEO @iainblack_gvbot writes about B.C.'s flawed referendum on electoral reform and how #ProRep would threaten government accountability. Read the op-ed on page 13 or online here: theprovince.com/opinion/op-ed/… #NoBCProRep #bcpoli

Hilarious (& accurate, mostly) description of Dual Member Proportional: "in which voters cast ballots for the candidate (or candidates) of their choice in their district, though the party sort of gets to choose who actually wins .." #noBCProRep #bcpoli timescolonist.com/news/local/jac…
Why is it important to have local representation? We know the priorities of our riding, and we work to meet those needs. Like the Enderby Memorial Terrace - lobbying for $2.87 million toward 33 affordable housing units for seniors. #SaveLocalRep #NoBCProRep #PR4BC #bcpoli.

As usual Proportional Representation supporters oppose giving voters a say on our electoral system because they know voters don’t like pro rep! #nobcprorep #Cdnpoli #BCPoli
Here’s why: “Denmark's Social Democrats have tacked hard right on immigration. Working closely with colleagues...in Parliament, they passed laws aimed at sending — or keeping — refugees to their home countries, rather than integrating them.” #NoBCProRep #Cdnpoli
Not at all. Pro Rep lets extremist parties win seats and then: "A coalition of Likud and several smaller nationalist, religious & far-right parties would keep Netanyahu in power" theguardian.com/world/2019/apr… #NoBCProRep #Cdnpoli #BCPoli

Les Leyne: It takes more than money to reach people
A traipse through the financial reports from the referendum campaign raises even more questions about how proportional-representation advocates managed to lose the vote. It looked at the outset as if...
Not true - I will argue the facts on every claim, as you may know. Despite being outspent by Proportional Representation groups by $500,000 + support of BC NDP government & BC Greens, voters supported First Past The Post 61%. #BCPoli #Cdnpoli #NoBCProRep
Proportional Representation backers outspent opponents by nearly $500K but still lost BC referendum globalnews.ca/news/5045060/p… #BCPoli #Cdnpoli #NoBCProRep

.@bcliberals #Convention2018 #WinningTakesWork is going superbly: an amazing, inspiring speech by Leader @Wilkinson4BC, great policy plenary, wonderful rebrand launch, powerful #NoBCProRep #KeepFirstPastThePost rally & a fascinating conversation with Millennials led by @Emile_BC
In the #Kootenays people are concerned about the NDP’s upcoming #PropRep referendum and their misguided attempts to change the way we elect MLAs. Thank you to the @CranbrookChambr for hosting this meaningful discussion. #NoBCProRep
.@bcliberals #Convention2018 turns our attention to #KeepFirstPastThePost with enthusiastic, upbeat rally #NoBCProRep @shirleybond kicks things off! #OneAndDone #NoPR #SayNotoPropRep
Looks like most people agree that @Wilkinson4BC won the #PRDebate over John Horgan. #KeepFirstPastThePost #NoBCProRep #NoPR #waytogo #AndrewWilkinsonWon
When you live in the community you know the needs, you live the challenges, like the pressing need for schools. I've advocated for more than 14 new schools and additions in my ridings. Like Sunnyside Elementary. #SaveLocalRep #NoBCProRep

Full house at our joint MLA Town Hall in #Kamloops. Main issue was Prop Rep referendum & concerns it will result in less local rep, appointed MLAs who aren’t elected, shifting power from local voters to political parties, & brutally flawed process. @PeterMilobar #NoBCProRep
Does #ProportionalRepresentation make every vote count? Absolutely not. Under #PR the most populated city will decide everything for BC. How fair is that? Vote #NoBCProRep this fall. #bcpoli #FPTP 为了BC省未来请在10/22 投“保持现状”一票！
The spirit of the north is alive and well but is being threatened by the NDP’s rigged #PropRep referendum. Conversations like today’s are important as communities like the #CityofPG deserve to keep strong local representation. #NoBCProRep
Yet more alluvial NC election diagrams: here's PLACE versus FPTP. Votes over 50% and losing votes separate out. In BC, the #nobcprorep campaign has been saying that in #ProRep, your vote will "get lost on the way". As these pics clearly show, actually FPTP is what loses votes.
#OneAndDone I just voted to #KeepFirstPastThePost #NoBCProRep #NoPR I urge everyone to vote for #FirstPastThePost If you are still wondering.... tune in 7pm @BC1 Thursday Nov 8 for the Leader's #PRDebate with @Wilkinson4BC and Premier Horgan @NoBCProRep
To date only 15.9% ballots from elegible voters in Fraser Nicola have been received by Elections BC. Electoral reform shouldn’t be decided by a minority. Let's make sure Fraser Nicola voices are heard! #NoBCProRep #BCPoli #OneAndDone #FraserNicola #ProportionalRepresentation
I believe all I have really seen from the #nobcprorep side against #PR4BC is a list of arguments that could be used to teach philosophy students about the ten most common logical fallacies. Is that the best they’ve got? PropRep for a more logical British Columbia.
Bill Reid was a local hero. I'm proud to have helped ensure his legacy was honoured in the funding and in the name of the Options Bill Reid Place shelter in #cloverdale. #SaveLocalRep #NoBCProRep
Complicated, confusing, and absolutely incomplete. That’s what our government is proposing for the most fundamental process in a democracy – how we elect our representatives to govern our province. Join us in voting NO to complicated and confusing voting systems. #NoBCProRep
Just voted to keep the current First Past the Post system - don’t forget to mail in your electoral reform ballots before November 30! #oneanddone #nobcprorep
