      The bcliberals have set the bar too high! It should’ve been a 51% threshold. As 30% of the vote determines the next 4 years of our province.

      A New Zealand politician has unsuccessful advocated for the dirty trick that a majority of the population should vote yes to pr in the referendum for the result to be valid not just the voter percentage of the vote.
