We desperately need a change in our voting procedures and
standards. For one, there should be multiple choices on the card so
we don't have a government with only about 30% of the votes but
more seats than the opposition even though the opposition had more
votes, as in BC in 1996.
Also there are other factors like prisoners' right to vote. They
have lost that right on incarceration!
There do not need to be so many seats for heavily populated
areas. It would be better to have
representation by area instead of population, and would
save dollars overall. BC only needs about 25 - 30 seats
instead of more than 50.
These are my main issues and welcome others that make common
sense.
Keep up the good work!
