As a BC resident I would like to give support to the New Zealand
method of proportional representation [MMP]. I believe this is a
more fair way to give everyone in the Province a say in how our
government operates.
Democracy in the western world, as we know it, is fast becoming a
sham. One needs to look no further than our own BC Liberal
government. They are not practicing democracy, they are practicing
fascism.
When less than 50% of the population votes it means over 50% of the
population does not see the value of casting a ballot. Why
bother?
I also would like to see a law passed preventing electronic voting.
Unless an auditable system like a paper ballot is used the system
of fudging votes is just too easy. (I wonder who is going to win
(?) the next US federal election?)
