I appreciate the work the Assembly has done to date, Thank You
All. It is important to me that our system of counting votes be
made proportional so that my vote (and my husband's) will finally
count. Under our current 'first past the post' system, it is
difficult to be motivated to vote at all. As this Federal election
approaches I have not had the stomach to read about any promises,
it's such a waste of time.
My family (& myself) are considering moving away from B.C.
and Canada; partly because we feel that we have no control over
what government gets elected and once a party does get in power we
have no way of holding them accountable or seeing them keep any of
the promises they made during their campaign. And partly because we
are being charged so much money by this dictatorship. Our logic is
why pay so much for so little, we could take our dollars to a
county that admits openly it's a dictatorship and buy our
rights. At least bribes are available to all people in
third world countries usually on a sliding scale. Unlike here in
Canada where being willing to pay is not enough; bribes in Canada
are only available to the connected. This country's political
system is due for a major overhaul and proportional representation
in B.C. is a good start.
