Both of us are long-time and strong supporters of a voting
system that would result in governments that reflect more or less
accurately the wishes of the electorate, thereby not only avoiding
disasters like the 2002 provincial election, but resulting in
governments that are stable, and leading to legislation that has a
chance of surviving the changes in government instead of the wild
swings that characterize the present system, where the most urgent
task of a new government seems to be to undo everything the
previous government had achieved.
The system that appears to be the choice of the Assembly
organizers (I believe it is based on the New Zealand system) [MMP]
seems to us to come closest to the ideal form for B.C.
