My thoughts: What struck me most about this article was the part about voter apathy. People not participating in elections are neglecting our democracy. We have a chance to give our input and regularly we don’t do anything. I think differently from the writer of the article, low turnout could work in favour of the BC government. As the article says levels of interest are decreasing for the anti-HST campaign. Those that are against it have generally already participated by signing the petition and it may be hard to get them to follow up by voting as well. If pro-HST campaigners can persuade all the people on their side to vote they may be in with a fighting chance yet.
