Abstract
I support a system similar to the mixed member proportional system [MMP] because it encourages voter participation and makes the application of each vote more democratic. [1 page]

Submission Content
I support an electoral system that:

  1. a political party's share of seats is more proportionate to its share of votes;
  2. more votes counting towards electing someone/less wasted votes;
  3. is easily understandable how to vote and how votes are counted;
  4. allows an opportunity to vote for local representation and political party;
  5. encourages a vote for who or what you believe in instead of a strategic vote to keep out who you disagree with the most;
  6. avoids swings of power from left to right, right to left; and
  7. creates a more stable , effective government.
I believe a system that would more truly reflect the number of votes to the number of seats in the government, would encourage more eligible voters to vote and a government that would work together creating longer-lived legislation (instead of spending its time and efforts undoing what the last government in power created).  I support a system similar to the mixed member proportional system [MMP] because it encourages voter participation and makes the application of each vote more democratic.
