Yeah, I worked the polls during the referendum for STV and was thoroughly defeated when it was, well, defeated.

@Brenda – Same internal voice here every vote of mine. I’ve pulled the lever for the Green’s a few times. I like Ms. May quite a bit. The Green’s have a strong sense of pragmatics and practicality that I find extremely appealing. We have first past the post voting; a majority of the majorities in any given riding don’t have their vote count for a darn thing…
I want Parliamentary lists…I think…

I have voted for Green pretty consistently, every time going through the same internal struggle of should I, shouldn’t I, knowing they’re not popular enough to secure a seat. But I couldn’t bring myself to vote for another party, and Elizabeth May, to me, is an inspiring leader.
So on I go in my fruitless voting…

I am also skeptical about this coming together, and even if it did, it would kind of leave us with a two party system (I know that’s essentially what we have anyway, but it’s the principle!). Definitely change is needed!
