good idea in theory but hard to be implemented and understood by mass population

Is that the new voting /counting system?

真係無時間去了解 STV or NO-STV，可能都係棄權。
我都會投豉油黨，但又好討厭呢個省長，幸好我唔係在他的選區，否則就腦交戰。
可能我心中的理想是：豉油黨執政，但更換省長，或者他選不上。

What is STV?
Published: May 07, 2009 1:00 AM
•Constituencies are larger and have more than one member each. B.C. would have 20 constituencies, but the legislature would remain at 85 seats.

•Under STV, Richmond voters would vote together with Delta voters to choose their five MLAs.

•On election day, voters rank their candidates in order of preference (1, 2, 3 instead of “X”), and are able to mark as many or few preferences on their ballots.

•The total number of voters is counted, which is then divided by the number of seats in the constituency, plus one. That amount is the number of votes a candidate needs to win a seat.

•In Richmond, what’s needed to win a seat is approximately one-fifth of the total vote. If not enough candidates garner enough votes, surplus votes of candidates elected or dropped off the ballot are redistributed.

I did try to understand the logic behind the new system. I believe I understand, however, I can't really see the benefit of it. I still trust the old school way, simple, straight forward. I vote for the best one I like, that's it! The most count got the seat.

Yes for sure.
I am tired of listening to all those negative commercials by the 2 parties putting down the other party.  
At least with STV, the candidates will have to promote themselves on why they are good and not just saying "the other candidate is bad, so you must choose me".  The candidates are ranked even among other candidates of their own party, so I guess they would be more accountable when they get elected.
