The strongest candidate in a riding wins the seat. If the person you vote for doesn't win too bad, they needed to do a better job in their riding of convincing people to vote for them.
To me, handing out seats just because a party got a certain percentage of the overall popular vote without winning any actual ridings is like the "participation award" of politics.
Some of the methods of PR explained ... I was like, 'What??!!' Eg. Urban gets one system, rural gets another. And then one or two of the options you vote for, politicians still have to decide on the specifics ... WHAT x2 ??!! So I'm giving them a blank cheque. I don't think so.

Voted FPTP. i love how they use Germany as an example for one of them. You need to be Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking's love child to understand their voting system.
Wilkinson: how many mla's will we have?
Horgan: if you were woke, you'd know.
BAHAHAHAJAAHA!!!

the ballot is fucked up. It leaves so many unanswered questions its not even funny.
It has options, and yet goes into no detail whatsoever on how those options would work.
The current government has totally botched this referendum, and it pisses me off. They wasted our money on an il-thought out question, which leaves more questions than answers. I agree with those who say they dont know what the fuck they are voting for, because the ballot is unclear and there is no information.
The big thing which I haven't seen discussed here is how FPTP inevitably leads to a two party system, which is a big problem here in BC especially.
Here is a fantastic video which explains the issues with FPTP:
