Abstract
MMP offers all voters an opportunity to vote for people, and for the party policies they believe in. It'd be especially democratic if we, rather than the parties, can create the list of candidates who may be chosen to represent us. [1 page]

Thank you for the time and energy you're investing in examining various forms of electoral systems.

I feel Mixed Member Proportional Representation [MMP] is the most democratic option.

Mixed Pro Rep offers all British Columbians an opportunity to vote for people, and for the party policies they believe in. It'd be especially democratic if we, rather than the political parties, can create the list of candidates who may be chosen to represent us.

The example in New Zealand has resulted in a dramatic increase in participation from women and native peoples.

Again, thanks for your efforts to promote democracy.
