Abstract
MMP looks to me like the system that would more fairly represent more of the people and their views.  People would believe that their vote really counts and they were more truly represented. [1 page]

Submission Content
I am writing to express my strong support for the idea of the Mixed Proportional Representation [MMP] method of voting and organizing our legislature.
 
I am sure you have been provided with information on this idea from the Free Your Vote campaign, so I do not need to go into the details here about how it works. I would just like to say that it looks to me like the system that would more fairly represent more of the people and their views. In areas where it is used, voter apathy has gone down and participation gone up, as people believe that their vote really counts, and they feel more truly represented. It would be wonderful if B.C. could convert to this style of voting. I urge you to consider it carefully and hope that it is what you will recommend.
 
Thank you for your work.
