More importantly, is FVC and FVBC doing a thorough campaign review? What were the gaps? Were we outspent? Not have enough volunteers? I think members deserve to know this info (even at a higher level). There are so many questions we could ask.</div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"><br></div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%">The reason I also ask is that mature/maturing organizations should always have the structures in place to do at least a basic review. Certainly, organizations I want to be part of, volunteer for, donate money to :) I'm personally reminded of how the GPC did a review of the 2015 federal campaign when we fell so short of our goals. </div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"><br></div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%">Any case I hope the questions are asked and that FVC members will be get to know and hear more.</div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"><br></div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%">Matthew Piggott</div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"><br></div><div id="BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"><br></div> <div id="blackberry_signature_BBPPID" dir="auto"> <div id="_signaturePlaceholder_BBPPID" dir="auto">Sent from my BlackBerry — the most secure mobile device — via the Rogers Network</div> </div></div><div id="_original_msg_header_BBPPID" dir="auto"> <table id="_pHCWrapper_BBPPID" width="100%" style="background-color:white;border-spacing:0px;display:table;outline:none"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:rgb( 255 , 255 , 255 )"> <div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb( 181 , 196 , 223 );padding:3pt 0in 0in;font-family:'tahoma' , 'bb alpha sans' , 'slate pro';font-size:10pt"> <div id="from"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:sharonsommerville@gmail.com">sharonsommerville@gmail.com</a></div><div id="sent"><b>Sent:</b> December 20, 2018 7:48 PM</div><div id="to"><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:fvc-wat-announce@listserv.thinkers.org">fvc-wat-announce@listserv.thinkers.org</a></div><div id="reply_to"><b>Reply to:</b> <a href="mailto:fvc-wat-disc@listserv.thinkers.org">fvc-wat-disc@listserv.thinkers.org</a></div><div id="subject"><b>Subject:</b> [fvc-wat-announce] Results from the BC referendum on electoral reform</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table> <br> </div><div dir="auto" style="outline:none"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hello FairVoting Friends,<div><br></div><div>The results from BC's referendum were announced this afternoon.
