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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 favour MMP with 53 riding seats and 26 party list
seats. The party lists would have only two names on
them specified by the party, and remaining list candidates would
come from a party's 'best losers' in the riding seats. [1 page]

I support proportional representation [PR] where parties get
seats in proportion to their votes. [1 page]

I adcovate proportional representation because with
PR, those elected would have to communicate instead of shouting
past each other. Then perhaps more people on the fringe
would have their concerns listened to. [1 page]

I am convinced that any voting system that provides for more
accurately translating votes into seats [PR] will mean
more people will vote, fewer will feel cynical about the
government, and BC will have a better and more stable future. [3
