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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

I support the Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] system
because it is the most democratic system available to us. It has
been extremely successful in New Zealand and I believe Canadians
are entitled to the same. [1 page]

I believe that the PR system is more democratic and
representitive of all the different factors that make up our
society. The first past the post system is too lopsided
for it to be a truly democratic system. [1 page]

The Citizens' Assembly must not show favoritism to PR
to the exclusion of our traditional system. Only if the
CA's report is balanced will it be of true value. The test is, will
it be understood by voters and result in a wise decision. [2
