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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

HALL-1579

I am a proponent of PR. I rarely feel that my vote is ever heard in a majority government. I have seen too many governments forge ahead with drastic changes to our society that were never mentioned before any election. [1 page]

CONNON-1578

Almost without exception, the party which gets the most special interest money stands the best chance of winning political office. To say the least it certainly corrupts the present electoral process and needs to be corrected. [1 page]

KASK-1577

A proposal for an MMP system with half the MLAs elected from ridings, half from party lists, with 4 year terms.  Party list members are initially elected for 2 years, then 4 years to produce staggered terms (elections every 2 years). [2 pages]

Support for an MMP system with a legislature of 100 seats, 25 chosen from party lists. Within the one year before a general election, a party's slate of candidates must be elected by all registered party members. [2 pages]
