I support a change to proportional representation [PR] in BC. I think the coalition building that results is an important part of the democratic process and is a way for new ideas and policies to form. When there are more parties in the house, consensus must be sought. The process of finding consensus between diverse platforms would lend a greater validity to our political system. The more different voices heard, the greater the chance for sane, just and balanced decision making. I spent time in the Netherlands and was impressed by how their proportional representation system works. I've heard New Zealand also has such a system. I would like to see it happen in BC.
