BC always does its own thing in elections. we rarely follow the national trend in voting. and yeah the boter turnout is up but still dissappointing to me. citizens of democratic countries like canada take forgranted their gift of voting. to me a good voter turnout would be at least 80% but i doubt that will ever happen.

BC typically elects opposition members; NDP in the 80s, Reform in the 90s, Alliance in 00 and Tories in 04.

I have no problem with low voter turnout, sometimes not voting makes as strong a statement than voting. And if people don't really understand politics, they shouldn't vote either. So it works out.

Spoiling the ballot makes a much better statement than not voting.  If you're not happy with any of the canditates, just put a line thru the whole ballot.  Elections Canada records the number of spoiled ballots they get each election.
