SUBMISSIONS FROM THE PUBLIC

Members of the public sent to the Assembly a total of 1,603 public submissions during the 13 months ended 27 September 2004. And you can access them all lower down on this page.

Incidentally, the numbers on the submissions appear to show that there are 1,669 of them. After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603. Unfortunately, we cannot renumber the submissions to reflect that.

If a posted submission is dated after 27 September, that date refers to the date the submission was processed and posted to the website, not the date it was received. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

AIKEN-0121

There should be an opportunity to vote for "none of the above" on the ballot. This allows for a chance to show no confidence in the government process or for the candidates who are put forward.  [1 page]

AITKEN-1160

I believe that in order to ensure we have a truly democratic society we must have proportional representation.  After researching various PR options, I prefer the Mixed Member Proportional Voting System (MMP). [1 page]

ALBERT-1329

As a former resident of Germany, I am very familiar with the MMP. It has allowed smaller parties to be represented in parliament resulting in a more dynamic political system which allows for new currents to have some input. [1 page]

ALEXANDER-0312

I support the New Zeland model of proportional representation (Mixed Member Proportional, MMP). I believe MMP is the superior manner to ensure voters in BC a voice in how their province is governed. [1 page]

I feel mixed member proportional representation (MMP) is the best for British Columbia. With our diverse population this would ensure the fairest election of all parties. [1 page]
