I am writing to voice my support for a change in British
Columbia's voting system. After thoroughly reading
information on the three possible ways to vote for our
Legislative Assembly I am more than ever convinced that the Mixed
Member Proportional system is the best
choice. The FPTP is certainly not fair in a
jurisdiction, such as BC where there are 3 or more
parties; it seems to me that the MMP gives one a representative
from one's area, who should have a knowledge of local issues and
attitudes, as well as making it possible to represent the
diverse views of the constituents in a given
area. This method would also offer this in
reasonably sized geographic areas.
I do believe that each party list from which MLAs would
be chosen should allow for the expression of preference
by the voters of that party.
As a presently disenfranchised voter I thank the Citizens
Assembly for their hard work and dedication
