The result of the #BCElexn2024 and whether we are lead by a majority or minority government will be decided by less than 10 votes... it is possible that it could be even a one-vote difference, or a tie broken by a (edit: a by-election in that riding! source 2015 CBC tiebreaker rules: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/election-tiebreaker-rules-differ-across-canada-1.3080448)

And this system is superior to #proportionalrepresentation how? Oh right, at keeping legacy people and parties in power long after they've run out of vision and competence, if they ever had any.

@stephanie oh! Correction! Coin flip in PEI. In BC it goes to an immediate by-election:

A P.E.I. provincial election recount resulted in a tie Tuesday and, according to the province's Election Act, that called for a tiebreaking coin toss.

@chris @stephanie I have learned something.
Nova Scotia :flagns: is a bad variation on coin toss in my eyes.

@EdwinG @stephanie ha! I am pretty sure in my City, a tie breaker is solved with names in the hat of the first Mayor of Port Alberni! lol

@chris My incumbent MLA is going to stay lazy & keep ignoring her constituents who have serious, ongoing concerns on several different BC government policies. She hasn't actually worked to help her constituents in years. Got too comfy & became too arrogant to be accountable & actually do her job.

@chris I don't think I'm alone with being stuck with a lazy incumbent MLA who ignores constituents. Unfortunately.
