True, where it will matter is if we have a similar result as the last referendum with a clear majority and far more support for STV than the government yet still short of the 60% threshhold. In that case, the best result will be a strong showing for the Greens and a dissapointing result for the NDP since parties only seem capable of acting in their own self interest. The BC NDP's "neutral" position right now is that my vote in the referendum is worth less than someone who supports the status quo.

Well, you and other NDP partisans clearly saw it that way, the public not so much.

The Liberals had no credibility on electoral reform to lose or grow so its a completely different situation. And the NDP was forced into a 180 after days of being off message and looking like part of the old boys club. You are entitled to your opinion that this was a smart play....
