I would like to voice my support for the New Zealand model of proportional representation [MMP]. It seems this would be the best way in which the average person in BC could feel they are making a their opinions heard.

I can't see a country calling itself a democracy when winning 58% of the votes gains 97% of the seats in power. The results of such a system is somewhat like a dictatorship when the opposition, or even the general public, have no way of influencing legislation or policies which then become the laws.
