Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting appears to me to be most satifactory.  Being able to cast one vote for the candidate and another for the party should result in better represention of the minor parties which now have no seats. [1 page]

Submission Content
I strongly support some form of proportional representation. Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting appears to me to be most satifactory. Under the present system the final composition of the Legistlature does not reflect the wish of the people baed on the numbber of votes cast. Also we do get strategic voting, i.e. to prevent a particular party being elected in a riding. Being able to cast one vote for the candidate and another for the party should result in better represention of the minor parties which now have no seats.
