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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

the public, here are:

Voters should be able to rank candidates in order of the voters'
preference; the preferences are summed, and the candidate with the
lowest total wins [preferential voting with Borda count]. [1

The system that I would like to see is the mixed member
proportional [MMP] system because it gives local representation as
well as ensuring a proportional result of seats won by a party in
accordance with the number of votes gained. [1 page]

I favour MMP with half the members elected in single-member
ridings by a plurality system, and the other half by an
at-large proportional representation list system to correct for
distortions in party representation. [3 pages]

If we are ever to have true democracy, we need a voting format
that recognizes the choice of all citizens. We do NOT have
democracy now; surely proportional representation is the fairest
system. My choice is MMP. [1 page]
