The point is to let the parties know that we don't like s h i t.  Campbell thinks we love s h i t, because we have been keep on voting him while he throw s h i t at us every month.  NDP might be even more useless, I know.

This is the partially the point. Sometimes you vote for a party because you want to vote them in. Other times you vote for a party because you want to vote someone else out. In BC's case, voters have to send a message out to the Liberals and tell them that we do not like your policies and that we have the power to kick you out of the office. At the same time, it is also a solemn reminder of the same message to the NDP, that if they want to stay in office, they better give us something we like (or else...)

Stupid Jai,

If you don't know any political theory, then stop talking shxt la. In a 2 party situation like what we are having in BC, the parties will invariably be merely center of left, right in the center, or center of right, meaning that on the whole, their policies that actually get executed will not be that different. In other words, on a scale of 1 to 10, if 1 is left leaning and 10 is right leaning, the NDP might ideologically be #4, while the Liberals are #6. But in a bid to get back into the office, the NDP might be pitching some #4.5 or even #5 policies in attempt to lure more of the swing votes or ex-Liberal voters. As long as they remain further on the left than the Liberals, they can probably preserve their basic pool of left leaning voters.

For the record, BC has the lowest minimum wage across the country, and if I am not mistaken, that min wage has been frozen for almost 10 years. Even to the Liberal supporters, there is not enough opposition against a min wage increase la.

Stupid~

Does Moron Peter even know what kind of crap he is spewing here?

You're in BC, moron. Take a look around you and tell us what the political situation is like.

So BC has a 1-party dictatorship? That's the biggest piece of crap I've heard today.

Or have you mistaken your Great China for what we have? (because that's the 1-party dictatorship).

Opps! I forgot. In China, they call that the Chinese style democracy!

While they are not explicitly paid to do their so-called "research" work, you have to look at where their funding came from. The Fraser Institute has been involved with quite a number of controversies where their published results were heavily questioned and criticized. I'm too lazy to dig up their history la, but I always take their "research results" with a grain of salt gum law.
