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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 a proportional representation system similar to New
Zealand's [MMP]. I believe it to be the fairest system as well as
relatively straight-forward and will stand more chance
of acceptance with the public in BC. [1 page]

Please make it possible for me to fully participate in a true
democracy. On reviewing the options I find the New
Zealand [MMP] model the most appealling. This option
would make it possible for myself and others like me to get
involved. [1 page]

I recommend a mixed representative
[MMP] system. The issue of regional representation
should not allow us to lose sight of the most glaring failure of
the current system. Each vote must count, and right now it does
not. [1 page]

I want a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system like the one
adopted in New Zealand. I want to be able to vote and know there is
a point to doing so. [1 page]
