No...

I am suggesting that the existance of the Greens draws enough votes away from the NDP that it keeps the Liberals in Power.  I have said nothing about the "2nd" choice of Green Voters.

I am tickled pink by all the conspiracy theories I have read here.

You would almost think the NDP enjoyed being reduced to two seats, that they would like it to happen again.

This PR vote is a rigged vote. It is very very unlikely to meet the criteria to win across the Province.  If I was in a political party and supported PR, I wouldn't put my reputation on the line to fail a 2nd time. This vote shouldn't happen under these circumstances.

If PR LOSES again, and it was created by the Liberals and Supported by the NDP, it is going to be very hard to bring PR forward again. Looking at whats required, the threshold is to high to achieve.

So, what's to happen next? The next party that brings forth PR could be challenged that it has already lost TWICE. 

The question starts to become as tiring as a Quebec Sovereignty vote.

Then what, does PR have to Win 3 Referendums to beat the two that it lost?

Really, if you want to push for PR, you have to do it on the ground. Bashing isn't going to get you anything other then a broken message.

The Pro PR interests are dropping the ball, perhaps they even can feel the direction this vote is going to go.
