I deeply agree with Terry on this one!!!...<br>
In fact, STV is in my humble opinion the best multiple-winner electoral
method<br>
among all currently used actually in the countries of the world.<br>

<pre wrap="">Kathy,
While there are serious disagreements on this list about the relative
merits of various single-winner voting methods, I think you will find that
most people who have studied the STV form of proportional representation
agree that it is a very fair and very good method, and arguably the best
in use anywhere today. I can't imagine any thoughtful reformer wanting to
throw a monkey wrench into one of the most promising election reform
movements in the world today. Go BC-STV!

It wasn't hard to find a site campaigning against it:

People might also want to warn the BC government about the ugly mess
that they would get themselves into by adopting such a fundamentally
unfair, inequitable, complex and costly method for counting rank
choice votes. The web page to contact the BC government is:
