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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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).

CONROY-0091

'Stable' government can be interpreted too narrowly and to favour only majority governments.  In choosing an electoral system, stability should refer to the system as a whole and to the responsivness of governments to patterns of voting. [2 pages]

COOK-0520

The system I would like to see is Proportional Representation, specifically Mixed Member Proportional [MMP]. I believe this system would really cultivate more meaning and interest in politics here in BC. [1 page]

Many thanks to the Assembly members for their hard work in this most important issue. A reform of our electoral system is long overdue and badly needed. Your work is a sign of hope in our Province and in Canada. [1 page]

COOPER -0446

Many one issue parties inhibit coherent governing, so a PR component must be limited to a few seats. A party must have 8% for 1 seat, 10% for 2 etc., filled by a party's candidates with highest % of vote gained and not already elected. [2 pages]
