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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

ZENGER-1564

MMP provieds a local representative , as well as making it possible to represent the diverse views of the constituents in a given area.  The party list should permit choice by the voters of that party. [1 page]

FORHAN-1563

MMP, an electoral system with a proven track record of producing fairer results, is,  in my opinion, our best (only) choice.  It scares me to think Nick Loenen's proposal (Preferential-Plus) is even being discussed. [1 page]

ATKINSON-1586

I would like to see a seperate vote for our MLAs and the Premier. I may want to vote for one person for Premier but I may want someone else for my MLA -- similar to the American system I suppose.  [1 page]
