I totally support the idea of proportional representation.
I believe that with Pro-Rep, we would have a better
representation of the parties voted for in our last election. This
would have provided our province with at least some opposition
members in the legislature.
With the current system, the Liberals obtained a monopoly and
proportionately this not how the people of British Columbia
actually voted.
This means 20% of the voters did not get represented. I believe
Pro-Rep would bring more people to the polls because their vote
would mean something. Last provincial election many
individuals stated to me they were going to vote Liberal "because
everyone else was, so what's the point of trying to vote
differently". Pro-Rep would likely remove this attitude and more
individuals would be willing to vote.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion. Free my
vote!
