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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

HANNAH-1595

Any manipulation of the present system that resulted in people not elected in their riding taking a seat in the legislature would, in my opinion, leave us subject to dishonest manipulation of the voting system. [1 page]

WHITTLES-1597

There are three essentials required to end the undemocratic system that has evolved in BC: fixed election dates; a system of proportional representation using MMP; and a leadership vote (directly or indirectly). [2 pages]

LARSEN-1604

MMP is an electoral system with a proven track record of producing fair results while maintaining geographic representation and improving the number of women and minorities elected. Isn't this what we need? [1 page]

HUNTER-1598

I strongly support using the MMP system for the next election in BC. It seems to work well for others countries such as New Zealand, and is definitely better in my opinion than the STV approach. [1 page]
