British Columbia deserves better than Pro Rep.
The proposed proportional representation systems are risky, complicated, and give too much
power to political parties and fringe groups. Let's keep our local representation strong.

Under Proportional Representation,
THE RISE OF BACKROOM DEALS AND POLITICAL POSTURING IS INEVITABLE.
The Proportional Representation Illusion - Is Proportional Representation more democratic? Not at all!
With Proportional Representation MLA's will get chosen from a list of party insiders, not by YOU the voter. How much less democratic can it get than that?
This fall, keep our electoral process simple, stable and successful

The Risky
Future
Proportional Representation
WILL ALLOW EXTREMIST PARTIES TO HAVE A SAY.
Proportional Representation will cause chaos and enable extreme fringe parties like the far right to hold the balance of power.
The Proportional Representation Illusion - Dirty side deals will cease. Not at all! In fact, dirty side deals will continue and force dangerous ideologies on to the government agenda. How dangerous will that be?
This is putting our future at risk.

Under Proportional Representation,
THE MOST POPULATED CITY WILL DECIDE EVERYTHING FOR ALL OF BC.
Proportional Representation will lead to a Vancouver-centric government that only cares about Vancouver issues. How is that fair?
The PR Illusion - Does Proportional Representation make every vote count? Not at all.
It will move the entire power base of the government to where the population is. Proportional Representation will strip rural communities of their locally elected MLA. This will eliminate any voice BC's small communities ever had in government.
This is not fair to our province. Vote

No Backroom Deals
In a real democracy, voters decide on policy. With Proportional Representation, it’s done behind closed doors. Dirty side deals forcing dangerous ideologies onto the government agenda will be the new norm. That’s why I’m voting NO to Proportional Representation this fall.
No to Extremists
Far-right extremists calling the shots in the BC Legislature? No thanks. That’s not my British Columbia – and with Proportional Representation, that will be the new normal. I’m voting NO to fringe parties causing chaos and holding the balance of power this fall.
No to less rural representation
Local issues deserve local voices. With Proportional Representation, bigger ridings will diminish your access to your MLA. And what’s worse is that we won’t even know by how much -- the BC Government is refusing to provide maps. I’m voting NO to Proportional Representation.
No to the Lower Mainland slant
Under Proportional Representation, the Lower Mainland will dictate the government’s agenda, leaving the rest of the province begging for scraps. Rural BC deserves a voice in the legislature. I’m voting NO to Proportional Representation this fall.
No to MLAs awarded by parties
What’s the point in voting if YOU don’t get to decide your representation? Under Proportional Representation, political parties will decide your MLA – not you. That’s not democracy. I’m voting NO to Proportional Representation this fall.
No to confusing systems
Utterly unfair: under Proportional Representation, your MLA is chosen by a confusing algorithm, meaning your vote gets lost along the way. Life is complicated enough. Voting shouldn’t have to be. That’s why I’m voting NO to Proportional Representation this fall.
