If not then electoral reform will eventually let you pay less taxes.
How so ? Because the BC Liberals will not be able to play divide and conquer with the voters.
Gordon Scambell and Krusty Clark only lowered taxes for their rich donors.
everyone's so "right" here all the time

I'm legitimately not sure you know what electoral reform is? It's not about taxes at all, and you could end up paying way less if that's what the majority of people in the province want. Electoral reform will make it so we elect the people who are considered best, rather than the people the largest group of people considered best. It means that if 40% votes for one party, and then 20% each for another three (no, this would never happen, but I'm not going to spend my time making real life examples), the party that 60% of the voters didn't want won't be elected. Electoral reform is about saying that we as a province understand simple math and don't want governments that aren't favoured by a majority of people in the province. It means that if 60% of people are voting for parties that don't want higher taxes, but the Higher Taxes Party gets 40% of the vote, we won't get higher taxes.
