I would like to offer my strong support to the assembly for
considering a proportional representation electoral system.
My personal preference is the MMP (New Zealand) model. I feel it is
the most appropriate system for our province because it is
reasonably uncomplicated and would maintain an adequate rural
representation.
I do not want to vote strategically anymore. I've voted for the
"lesser of two evils" because I knew that a vote from my heart
would be wasted. A proportional representation system will allow
myself and many others to vote the way we truly want, and know that
we will have representation in the legislature.
98% of the seats with 58% of the vote is a result we can no longer
afford if democracy is to regain the respect and trust it needs to
truly serve its citizens.
