The State of Politics in BC
Christy Clark
Is it time for a new kind of politics in BC? The new leaders of the province’s two largest political parties might consider, as they develop their platforms in the coming months, whether they should also be putting forward a new vision for how politics might be done in BC.
With only a 50% turnout in the last election, and nearly 70% of BC voters unwilling to commit themselves to supporting either of the two major parties at this time (see this recent Angus Reid poll), not to mention the surprising run-up of the NDP vote in the federal election, it seems that voters are collectively looking for an end to politics as usual and a shift to a new way of conducting public business that honours all voices in our modern society.

Fair Voting BC believes that the era of binary opposition in our provincial politics no longer serves us well, if it ever did, and that in order to move forward, we have to engage all British Columbians in seeking solutions to the political challenges we face.
