jonathan _BBCODE_WROTE:就跟你说即使我这票为了表示支持你而投给STV，STV估计也还是一样通不过。我觉得如果不能打消大家对STV的顾虑和歧视的话，怎么投STV也是输。况且，凡是公投的事情，一次就能通过的，好像也不多。STV是第一次列入公投吧。
俺咋记得是第二次了？
STV的宣传实在是太不够，唉……

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
More than 70 leading educators endorse BC-STV
All cite fair and accountable government as reasons for their support
Vancouver, B.C. - An impressive list of educators and specialists in democratic reform are joining the momentum to bring a new way of voting to BC that will restore faith in the electoral process. In universities across the province, leading academics are choosing BC-STV (Single Transferable Vote) as the best way for British Columbian voters to get the MLAs they want.
“There is a remarkable level of support among political scientists at all major universities and colleges in B.C.,” says Dr. Blaize Reich of the Simon Fraser University Segal Graduate School of Business. “These are the people who have dedicated their lives to understanding how democracy works and how political systems engage citizens. Their ringing endorsement of STV is in sync not only with the Citizens’ Assembly but with voters across the province who want their voices heard.”
“STV will give the citizens of BC a political process that is more deliberative, inclusive, and smart,” says Dr. Mark Warren, political science professor at the University of British Columbia and Merilees Chair for the Study of Democracy. “It will deliver the kind of government that a complex, growing, and sophisticated province such as BC needs and deserves.”
“Under the current first-past-the-post system, a political party can win 100 percent of the power with as little as 40 per cent of the vote,” says Dr. Dennis Pilon, professor of political science at the University of Victoria. “With BC-STV, voters can finally end the era of ‘hold-your-nose-and-vote’ and win a fair way of electing a government that truly represents the will of the popular vote.”
Dr. Norman Ruff, associate professor emeritus of political science at the University of Victoria and a keen observer of B.C. politics agrees. “If you really want to put power in the hands of the individual voter and
make elections candidate-based, then BC-STV is the best system. I think accountability and trust are on people’s minds. There is an argument to be made that, here and now in B.C. politics, BC-STV is worth trying.”
These are four notable voices in a long list of educators and British Columbians from all walks of life who are endorsing BC-STV. A complete list of educators is below.

On May 12, in a province wide referendum on electoral reform, voters will have a chance to make history and change the way politicians are elected. British Columbians will choose between the current “first-past-the-post” system and the STV system that was recommended overwhelmingly by the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform. In the last election, BC-STV received more votes than any political party, nearly 58 per cent. However, the referendum requires 60 per cent approval to be adopted by the
government. British Columbians for BC-STV is the official proponent of the single transferable vote (STV) system, as proposed by the BC Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform in 2004. More information about the STV
system and how British Columbians can get involved in the campaign is available at www.stv.ca or by calling 1-866-835-7612. Voters can also join the online discussion about electoral reform through the Facebook group “Yes for BC-STV” and www.twitter.com/BCSTV.
