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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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.

I support the introduction of an MMP electoral
system. I think it would eliminate many of
the bad effects of the current winner-take-all system
where decent government is effectively suppressed by
disproportional representation. [1 page]

I am strongly in favour of an electoral system that features
direct proportionality (the number of seats a party gets
provincially is in proportion to the number of votes
they get). The best system to model ours after
is an MMP system. [1 page]

I recommend MMP but with the list
component made up of candidates from each
party who have not been directly elected but who have the highest
percentage of votes in his or her riding. This would
ensure good regional representation. [1 page]
