Abstract
|
I prefer the MMP system because its simplicity makes it a viable
option for all voters. It keeps the electoral districts
small, so that people really feel that they are represented by
a local MLA, as well as by the party of their choice. [1

I would like to express my preference for the MMP style of
proportional representational election system (similar to that of
New Zealand).
I prefer the MMP system because its simplicity makes it a viable
option for ALL voters. It keeps the electoral districts small, so
that people really feel that they are represented by a LOCAL MLA,
as well as by the party of their choosing.
I think the STV system is too cumbersome and impersonal, with
electoral districts that are too large, a disaster for rural BC.
The MMP system demonstrates our best option for turning out a
maximum voter population and for creating the truest representation
of the voters' wishes.
