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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system for BC
as this method would allow a vote for a party member and for a
party of my choice. It would enable proportional
representation. [1 page]

You may add my voice to those who advocate a mixed member
proportional [MMP] system similar to that of New
Zealand. We have outgrown our current system, as it concentrates
power in the hands of elites. [1 page]

Without proportional representation there can be no true
democracy. Mixed Proportional Representation
[MMP] will encourage many more people
to vote; governments will truly represent the citizens.
