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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 for electoral reform in BC. I believe that some sort
of Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] Representation system should be
used in BC. This system would result in equality in political
representation in BC. [1 page]

I support the proportional representation system that is
presently operating in New Zealand. Everything that I read
indicates that this is the best system overall for representing the
preferences of all electors in the election outcome. [1 page]

I am writing to you in support of BC holding a referendum on
whether we should adopt a mixed member proportional [MMP] system. I
believe this system to be superior to the single transferable vote
system. [1 page]

As the MMP method returns the highest form of representation for
the individual and avoids the spectre of majority rule by default,
this is the method I most strongly support. [1 page]
