In 2004 BCers voted 57.7% in favour of switching to a Single Transferrable Vote system. But the BC Liberals set the bar artificially high at 60% (if they ever got 57.7% in an election they would have called it a landslide). As the party of the Rich, the BC Lieberals have a vested interested in seeing that a wealthy minority is able to control things in the province.
