Olympic ProtestsPEJ News - It seems the media is anxious to undermine the credibility of Olympic protesters. Instead of focusing on any of the negatives that the Olympics bring they are being good corporate citizens and going after the protesters for throwing marbles in front of the torch run. The protesters however didn't know who the person was who did the deed which brings immediately to mind the question "Who was he?". Most likely either an infiltrator trying to discredit the protesters or some jerk who is only interested in making noise at anyone's expense.. www.PEJ.org |

STV Imperative
PEJ News - Why not print the Provincial May ballots as S.T.V. ballots with the S.T.V. referendum included? This way if the S.T.V. referendum passes then the votes can be counted using S.T.V. If the S.T.V. proposal fails then the votes could be counted as first past the post (and the second, third etc votes would be ignored). The necessary legislative change could be made retroactive on the condition that S.T.V. is accepted on the ballot. www.PEJ.org |
