There are so many blank spaces in the new 鈥淩eferendum Voters Guide鈥� that after a reading, I am left with two questions: Was this put together after an all-night drinking party? Was this carefully crafted to ensure that confusion resulted to the extent that B.C. voters would just roll their eyes and give up?

Imagine: asking B.C. voters to consider voting on a referendum question that is full of blank spaces and woefully unfinished.

Imagine: asking voters to trust a 鈥淰oters Guide鈥� that talks about an 鈥淓lectoral Boundaries Commission鈥� as 鈥渋ndependent鈥� when the commission has been handpicked by the provincial government itself.

Imagine: the 鈥淰oters Guide鈥� that lays all of its credibility on an Attorney General鈥檚 Report that was prepared by a sitting member of the B.C. government who is at the beck and call of the premier.

I think this entire process is tainted with confusion, deception and partisanship, all for the purpose of conning us into accepting the government鈥檚 grossly flawed new voting system.

Just say No to proportional representation.
