Abstract
MMP is fair in terms of proportional representation. A party gets a share of seats in the legislature proportional to its share of the province-wide vote. We need it because it retains local representation, which many in BC want. [1 page]

Submission Content
We need fair voting and the only way to do that is through MMP, not this crazy first past the post. No wonder the younger generation do not want to vote. Mixed member proportional is fair in terms of proportional representation. A party gets a share of seats in the legislature proportional to its share of province-wide vote.
We need it because it retains local representation, which many British Columbians want.

Do it, otherwise less and less young people will have the impetus to vote because they will feel that there vote has not counted.  I feel like that already, but keep hoping things will change. Most young people already feel disenfranchised.
