Abstract
I support proportional representation [PR] as I have been involved in elections where the results did not reflect the wishes of minorities at all.  Under a majority system, some voters feel that they have wasted their votes. [1 page]

Submission Content
I would like to support proportional representation [PR] as I have been involved in several elections where the results did not reflect the wishes of the minorities at all.  Another byproduct of the majority vote system is that the voter is discouraged from wasting a vote on the party he or she may actually be most interested in voting for.  In BC the result has been radical shifts back and forth between the socialist and capitalist parties with much disruption to both the private and public sector.

Thank you for the effort you are putting into this study, it is high time a new system of representaion was devised for this perenially troubled part of the world.
