i actually liked the instant run-off voting.
i know. it's crazy. i voted liberal...and...get this....i did so because i liked their ideas.
that's right. i knew that the liberals support irvs, or stvs, and i knew the ndp supported pr. and, i voted for the liberals! because i supported the irv!
well, it wasn't a single issue thing, but you get the point.
then, to my confusion, when the liberals win, all anybody is talking about is the ndp's ideas. bizarre, that. i thought the ndp lost, and the liberals won?
i think, in the end, the liberals realized that the stv would help the ndp at the expense of the conservatives and decided that was a bad idea.
too bad.
