Proportional Representation
I am completely convinced that we should adopt some form of
proportional representation to bring more democracy to the
people. Our antiquated voting system dates back to the
19th century in Britain when there were really only 2
parties. Today we have many points of view and many
parties.
Of the many systems of Pro/rep [PR] in the world we
can choose which would be best for BC. The most
important aspect of this electoral change is that there should be a
direct relationship between seats gained and votes cast.
Wherever this principle has been adopted in the world today, the
percentage of eligible voters rise. The electorate
realizes that their votes now count.
