so that is why you should know someone better before you rely on him.
BTW, you did not vote for the 省長 that's why now you have so many complain about him.

What happens if I only list one or two candidates?
When the last candidate that you numbered has been elected or dropped from the race, the "unused portion" of your ballot is set aside and not given to any other candidate.
I am totally against it. It's too complicated to be a voting system. And when procedure is complicated, errors will occur. I like out original system, one person one vote. Clear, accurate, and precise.
I just have a feeling that the NDPers would take the opportunity to
organize their enormous manpower from unions and well-tuned
election machine to overwhelm the election. I've be ...

Those who promote STV are just want to satisfy their ego.
Hey, we are chosen to conduct the study and come up to this suggestion.
No way it will be defeated twice.
Lets get real, you'll be regret to anticipate the change. Just like the change in the City council of Vancouver.
In any case, I'm against this version of the STV vote. In principal, it is a better system than our current single member plurality system. In the proposed execution, however, there are a number of flaws that makes the proposed implementation unacceptable.
The #1 biggest flaw is the enlarged / merged constituencies. The very goal STV strives to achieve is equality in representation. However, the larger constituencies will make it extremely difficult for smaller parties to come up with enough funding to campaign in the larger constituencies. Most (all?) of us live in the city, so we aren't really affected by this aspect very much. But BC covers quite a vast geographic region. Those constituencies in the interior and in Northern BC will be most severely hurt by the enlarged constituencies. Parties that are less well-funded will find it difficult to campaign in the significantly larger geographic regions. Additionally, local / regional candidates that enjoy strong support in one region may not be all that well known in a different region, thereby destroying the lack of representation issue that STV is trying to fix in the first place.
The complicated STV system makes it difficult for citizens to strategically delegate their votes, and that has already been talked about here.
I just have a feeling that the NDPers would take the opportunity to
organize their enormous manpower from unions and well-tuned
election machine to overwhelm the election. I've been here long enough
to observe the election in action, all the dirty tricks. However, I love Canada
and it is my home.
