SUBMISSIONS FROM THE PUBLIC

Members of the public sent to the Assembly a total of 1,603 public submissions during the 13 months ended 27 September 2004. And you can access them all lower down on this page.

Incidentally, the numbers on the submissions appear to show that there are 1,669 of them. After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603. Unfortunately, we cannot renumber the submissions to reflect that.

If a posted submission is dated after 27 September, that date refers to the date the submission was processed and posted to the website, not the date it was received. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

CARLSON-0179

I would like to give my support to the the New Zeland model of proportional representation [Mixed Member Proportional, MMP]. I think this is the best way to give everyone in the Province a say in how government is run. [1 page]

CARMICHAEL-0165

I support a Mixed Member Proportional, MMP system because it is both simple and effective. A voting system should be easy to understand while achieving its goal of better representation that our current first past the post system. [1 page]

CARMICHAEL-1195

Some type of proportional representation allows a wider range of views to be included in public debate and decision making. The MMP system appears to be more easily understood by voters than other systems such as STV.  [1 page]

CARPAY-0143

I would like to see MMP [Mixed Member Proportional] representation for the BC legislature.  From what I know it is a fairer way of electing MLAs.  I worked on one election with 8 candidates, where the winner had 21% of the votes. [1 page]
