No, it's not useless; receiving above a minimum percentage of support entitles parties/candidates to receive a vote subsidy, participate in debates, and it affects public perception. If British Columbians had approved PR, we wouldn't be having this discussion....

Supporting a less established party in this election will help to broad BC's political spectrum, and hopefully improve this province's horrible political landscape.
