Submission Content
Given the low interest in the STV method among the presenters and the high interest (70% of the submissions) in the MMP method, it seems strange that in the upcoming presentations only 2 are speaking for MMP while 3 are speaking for STV. The MMP approach is more widely used and easier to understand. The voting method for STV is quite complicated and possibly a voter turn off, which is unfortunate for our limping democracy voting level.

What's going on with the Citizen's Assembly? Is it being co-opted by some ideology or group rather than being representive of the majority of the citizens of BC? This looks suspicious to me.
