I am hoping that you will recommend the mixed member proportional [MMP] system for British Columbia. The system that we have now is very unfair because many of our votes are wasted, and because many people change their vote knowing that if they vote the way they want to, their vote would be wasted. A more proportional system would allow smaller parties a chance and prevent the type of government that we have now where one party gets all of the power and can do whatever they want. We need the fairness and representation that we could have from a proportional system, and I am hoping that you will recommend this change.

Thank you for your consideration.
