The Liberals
& NDP think you're not able to make an informed decision ... on
anything!
Our
Democratic policies will change that!
We
promise to empower you
the voter in the first sitting after you elect us government.
You
think that this is just a political promise? It's part of our reason
for being. Here's something that's from our policies:
Topic X:
Democratic Reforms
Resolution 4
A BC Conservative
Government will ensure that the voters in a constituency, with good
reason, are entitled to petition the government to hold a recall
vote in any constituency, with the signatures of 15% of the voters.
If the MLA is defeated by a simple majority in the recall vote, the
position will be declared vacant and a by-election will be held.
Recall elections will be limited to one per term per MLA.
Resolution 5
Under a BC
Conservative Government, if the voters decide that an issue is
important enough to be decided by a referendum, they will be allowed
to petition the government to hold one. If the signatures of 15% of
the voters are collected, the government will be forced to hold a
binding referendum on the issue.
