Something doesn't feel right this time around. Perhaps you will have to wait for more momentum to arrive. But if politicians have gone silent, it is not necessarily a conspiracy, but a reflection that the referendum could do worse then last time.

The People are going to have to carry this one through, and I have yet to see anything developing of substance.

The way things are, the GP can keep the NDP out of office simply by existing and keep the Liberals in under the FPTP format. 

So PR is beneficial to the BCNDP.

But, I just don't think it is on peoples minds as much as the economy is. So when you have limited speaking time, do you talk about the economy or PR? If you talk about PR people think you ignore the economy and believe you to be out to lunch. If you talk the economy, the people for PR think you are ignoring them.

The community groups for PR should be very very active to get their message across. 

I am certain every GP candidate in BC is raising the issue at every opportunity. If they do, the others are likely to respond that there is a referendum.

Curious to see voter turnout. IF there is election fatigue.
