Proportional Representation is a way of electing our MLAs to the legislature so that every vote counts. With Proportional Representation, a party’s share of the seats in the legislature is determined by how many votes it received in the last election.
Under our current First-Past-the-Post electoral system, the province usually ends up being run by a single political party, because our votes don't count equally. That's too much power for any one party to have when British Columbians didn't vote for it.
