election

Advance voting for the British Columbia provincial elections starts in three days (Wednesday 6 May). General Election Day is on 12 May, 2009. There's also a referendum on changing to a fairer voting system the BC Single Transferable Vote or BC-STV (vote yes).

So it's another term of Conservative rule for Canada. Votes for "Battleground Vancouver" are still being toted up, but the CBC have just officially announced that the Tories have won another minority government.

I like the idea from a geek point of view of Vote For the Environment, which has been reportedly getting tons of hits lately. But this doesn't make sense for the party with the strongest environmental policies - the Green party - who really need to attract as many votes as possible even if they don't win any seats.
