Horgan's contention at the press conference that the NDP/Green condominium was a chance to show BC voters that proportional representation works in practice was laughable. If our existing FPTP system can deliver the touted merits of PR without having to endure the process of electoral reform to achieve this then why bother changing the system?

As for the majority that the Greens confer on the NDP, can someone please tell me how the selection of a Speaker plays in to this mix? the Liberals have 43 seats, the Greens/NDP 44. Does not the appointment of a Speaker mean that, at best, we have a hung parliament? In this case does the LG dissolve parliament on the grounds the coalition is unstable/unworkable and we return to the polls? I would like to know.
