SkyNews, a news channel out of UK that is widely watched through Europe, did a poll yesterday - "What do you feel regarding Bush's second term?". Spectators could push a button on their remote control to participate. 25% said "Hope". 75% said "Fear".

IMPROVING DEMOCRACY IN B.C.

THE FINAL REPORT

The Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform says the new proportional electoral system it proposes for B.C. will improve the practice of democracy in the province.

"Election results will be fairer, reflecting a balance between votes and seats, voters will have more choice and candidates will work harder to earn their support," says the final report of the Assembly, Making Every Vote Count: The Case for Electoral Reform in British Columbia.
