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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

Our group supports PR as the preferred voting system
for BC. It is a system widely used in democracies around the world
and has a proven track record to produce the most representative
and fair outcome in general elections. [1 page]

I am opposed to the current electoral system and favour MMP. I am
not in favour of STV and even less in favour of the 'Preferential
Plus' proposal by Nick Loenen. [1 page]

BC badly needs a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP)
voting system, not a Single Transferable Vote (STV) system. In
general this would provide a truer democracy; in particular this
would soften the severity of election swings. [1

I would like to register my vote in favour of an MMP system as I
feel this would best serve the Province. [1 page]
