I often wonder ...Very interesting commentary Wilf. <br />I often wonder where we would be as a Province if we were governed by a Proportional Government. There would be fewer deals struck behind closed doors, less opportunity for graft and scandal. With a Minority Government would we have shamed ourselves in the PNP Scandal? Would we have supported the reckless investment in GeoSweep or E-gaming? Would huge untendered secret contracts have been signed with Bell? Would we have invested more in renewable energy and organic farmers?<br />I think we would have some reasonable electoral reform with limits on sources and amounts donated, on election spending with reasonable limits and no exemption for food and beverage. Possibly a return to the more equitable per vote funding.<br />Holding a vote and then refusing to honour it has been unspeakably arrogant and I do hope there is a steep price to pay for disrespecting the electorate.<br />#HonourTheVoteDarciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943859855682545592noreply@blogger.com
