“Why the reform failed is interpreted differently: a 2005 government statement held that voters lacked an understanding of how BC-STV would map onto districts, while the high thresholds also meant 57.69% did not bind government.”

Context. The government's explanation is an official interpretation, not a tested causal finding.
