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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

In adopting an electoral system, a
selection must be made between proportionality, more
choice, stable government, institutional reform and local links.
Proportionality -- and its consequence, more choice
-- is to be valued most. [1 page]

With MMP, regional representation would be maintained, and
equally important, the overall popular vote would be acknowledged.
For the first time, we would have true democracy. [1 page]

I favour a Mixed Proportional Representation [MMP] voting system
for British Columbia and hope, in the final analysis, you recommend
it. I would also like to see a change for mandatory
voting just as Australia has. [2 pages]

If the Assembly is to be fair all the way around in its
presenters to the entire Assembly, there should be, at the very
least, equal representation proportional to the submissions in
support of each voting system. [1 page]

'This MMP model elects top-up MLAs in small natural regions,
enhancing accountability to voters of all MLAs, fixing problems
that the Scottish model would create in BC, and still with only 79
MLAs.' [12 pages]
