I feel that without question we need a proportional
representation [PR] system of voting to elect the BC
provincial Legislative Assembly. The first system to consider is a
mixed system in which half the members represent constituencies and
the other half are named by the parties. I am happy to consider
other systems, based on the experience of other jurisdictions,
especially jurisdictions whose political background is similar to
ours.
Whatever system is selected, it must have the support of a broad
majority of the citizens, or it may get discredited later, before
we have become accustomed to it and learned how to use it
effectively. So there has to be plenty of public involvement even
after the Cit. Ass. is finished its work.
Thanks for your good work.
