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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 have lived in BC my whole life except for the last 5 years in
New Zealand. I have returned just last spring. The
problem I saw in the NZ MMP system was the power given to parties
with a small percentage of the popular vote. [1

I favour PR-STV. To improve party proportionality and to
encourage a high turnout with voluntary voting, I propose that the
exact number of MLAs elected by each district should not be
finalised until after the votes are cast. [1 page]

Please don't choose an electoral system which permits
politicians to hang around forever in the legislature because they
rank high on party lists. I could live with a system
where I vote for several candidates in order of priority [AV]. [1

With the current FPTP system we have an opportunity to put a
piece of paper in a box every few years, but no ongoing
participation or representation in government. We
should change to proportional representation [PR]. [1 page]
