While I must profess to not having the best understanding of the
proposed reform (politics have always been somewhat of a muddle for
me) I do clearly recognize the need for a change to a more
representative form of electing our officials, having been forced
to witness the recent fiasco of BC's premier Gordon Campbell
crowing on about "an overwhelming mandate from the people" when the
numbers show that it is because of the limitations of our voting
system that such a disproportional number of Liberals ended up with
seats, and as such was not an honest expression of the will of the
people.
It is my sincere wish that this brief submission will in some
way help to provide the necessary insight required by those who are
faced with the daunting task of trying to bring some meaningful
change to an unfortunately somewhat antiquated, entrenched, and
ailing political system.
