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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

MASON-1330

A PR system of election would help promote a wider variety of issues and ideas being debated during each election.  We need a system that promotes the power of ideas rather than the idea of holding onto power at whatever cost. [1 page]

ALBERT-1329

As a former resident of Germany, I am very familiar with the MMP. It has allowed smaller parties to be represented in parliament resulting in a more dynamic political system which allows for new currents to have some input. [1 page]

LIGHT-1328

I support a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting system for BC. The the Single Transferable Vote [STV] system is too complicated, not as fair, not as proportional, and leads to more competitive politics. [1 page]

SYLVESTER-1327

I am in favour of mixed member proportional representation [MMP] as the most democratic method of voting for government. [1 page]

GOLLING-1326

I hope that a MMP system would allow more viewpoints to be heard and considered in government decison-making. I do not believe that one party should have the right to govern solely, when so many voters have other values. [1 page]
