I understand that today is the deadline for submissions to the
Citizen's Assembly. I did present my views about a
number of electoral issues at the Lillooet CA forum in June,
however please accept this confirmation that I am strongly in
favour of an electoral system that features direct proportionality
(the number of seats a party gets provincially is in proportion to
the number of votes they get). The best
system to model ours after, I think, is a New Zealand Mixed Member
Proportional (MMP) system with the key improvements noted in the
Free Your Vote Spring 2004 publication "Help Make BC's Voting
System Fair; Participate Now in the Citizen's Assembly on Electoral
Reform".
