  1. the problem is the Greens have a preferred method and don’t want a referendum just legislation.

    The NDP do want a referendum but haven’t decided on a method which they would leave to an expert panel to decide.

    Remember also that BC has also had TWO referendums to implement PR in 2005 and 2009 and both failed to meed the necessary thresholds.

    3rd time a charm?
