Almost half of BC’s 3 million voters are “not-voters”. Over 1 million do not vote.

These are not dumb, or sheeple, or just apathetic. So why don’t they vote ?

Dumping government explanations in the trash can, the real reason is that well over 1 million sensible citizens realise that their vote doesn’t count. At election time politicians come to the voters on their wretched lying knees in a two week campaign - pathetic beggars.

Then the instant the ballot is marked they spring up again, full of power - power bestowed on them by that ballot.

Politicians designed that voting system. The people didn’t - they were never given a say. The existing political system was imposed on the people by the politicians.

But these days larger numbers of people see that marking a ballot props up a rotten system, and now the trend for some years has been that more and more wide-awake people refuse to participate in a farce.

People in all walks of life are sullen. Under this political system nothing they do or think or say counts after they mark that ballot, but what is the alternative ? Is there an alternative ? There definitely is.

There definitely is, and it is a simple and powerful alternative. With one single vote, over 1 million turned-off voters can get themselves a vote that counts. Sixteen votes that count, in fact. That, my friends, is hope.

So this bright light on the road to the polls is not addressed to the million or so sheeple who DO vote. They will happily prop up the politician system for another four years. Forget them. No, this message is for the intelligent citizen. Over 1 million of us can outvote those sheeple and bring in a BC system that can be described as “democratic” without blushing.

What system is that ? Simply put, a majority of BC voters will vote to install a system that gives every citizen the RIGHT to 16 votes in four years - 16 votes that are binding on government - 16 votes that really count.

Like a private corporation, where the shareholders who put up the money vote regularly to control the directors [they wouldn't put up the money unless they did keep control], future BC governments will face a vote of confidence from the people each quarter.

Under that system [which already works fine in a prosperous European country] very few of the 16 votes are needed - the mere threat of a people’s veto produces governance in line with the majority will.

To conclude.

The BC Refederation Party challenges this province’s one million sullen, non-voting citizens to show where there is another proposal that will give them a vote that will count, and that will reduce politicians to public servants.

If you cannot come up with a fully researched political system that is already proven to work for the people, then you have two choices. Either stay sullen and let the politicians continue stomping on your face, or vote for the BC Refederation Party. It will take two elections to turn this around, so vote BC Refed in 2009, to get this started. Check out the RefedPlan© now.
