I would like to thank everyone for all their time and effort in
this very important process.
I would like to give my support to the the New Zeland model of
proportional representation [Mixed Member Proportional,
MMP]. I think this is the best way to give everyone in
the Province a say in how government is run.
I've voted for the Liberals and NDP in the past but none
represents my values. A lot of people don't vote
because they don't want to vote for the two big parties and they
know that their vote for a smaller party will just be wasted
because small parties will not get a seat in
the legislative assembly.
Last election, I voted Green; they won 13% of the
vote and not one seat. This is a real shame because a
lot of people have no one representing them. I want my
voice heard. I think we need a base line of 5% for a
party to get a seat but I think, once this is done, so many more
people will vote we will no longer have a party with 58% of the
vote and 98% of the seats.
I think its important not to worry about not having a government
with a majoity. Concensus governments work better
because everybody has to work
together. There will be no big swings to the
left and right. If a government wants to pass a bill,
they will have to listen to all the parties before the bill will go
through. Majority governments only bring big divisions among the
population its time to stop that.
