B.C. badly needs a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting
system, not a Single Transferable Vote (STV) system. In general
this would provide a truer democracy; in particular this would
soften the severity of the election swings from one side to the
other of the polictical spectrum. This can be done without
increasing the size of the legislative assembly; in fact the
legislature has grown far too large and expensive and should be
significantly reduced in size. To the extent that this would
increase the size of our constituencies, so be it.
It's high time our urban legislators started using available
technology to reach a larger constituency in a larger area,
something their northern counterparts have had to learn to do
already.
Let's get on with MMP and give the citizens a chance to vote on
the issue.
