You need to remember that "the last two" were rigged. In order to win, electoral reform had to get at least 60% of the votes in 60% of the ridings. That double supermajority must have been deliberately calculated to make reform impossible, and it nearly succeeded anyway.

I notice, incidentally, that STV is not being discussed this time around. Given that was the system chosen by the people of the province, leaving it out of the current discussion strikes me as, at least, dishonest.
