Abstract
BC should adopt NZ's modified proportional representation scheme which is simple, guarantees a parliament that is representative of the general popular vote, and avoids the problems that have occurred in places like Israel and Italy [1 page].

Submission Content
I would like to register my support for a modified proportional representation scheme such as was widely researched and adopted in New Zealand. This procedure has the attributes of simplicity, guarantees a parliament that is representative of the general popular vote, and avoids the problems that have occurred in places like Israel and Italy (the pizza parliament). The fact that this plan was so thoroughly researched by the New Zealand government also speaks to its credibility.

Good luck in your deliberations.
