Submission Content

We of the Church of the Universe, on behalf of our estimated 10,000-20,000 members in British Columbia, urge you to suggest to our provincial government that it implement a system of Mixed Member Proportional representation, similar to that found in New Zealand.

Studies show that the Mixed Member Proportional system:

  1. Increases lagging voter turnouts
  2. Gives a voice to small but significant blocks of the population who may be too spread out among BC's ridings to otherwise be represented in the Legislature
  3. Leads to more balanced, thoughtful governments that are less likely to disregard the opinions of the people.
In the peace and love of the Tree of Life.
