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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 am in favour of electoral change in this province. I choose
the MMP system as I feel that it is a fair system that benefits all
citizens of the province. [1 page]

From the bit of research that we’ve done, it sounds
like the type of representational system they have in New Zealand
[MMP] might work. It sounds a bit complicated, but it
seems to more fairly reflect voters’
intentions. [1 page]

No system is absolutely perfect, but the current first past the
post system is the most stable system. In a proportional
system, the smaller parties will have disproportionately greater
and consequently menacingly disruptive power. [1 page]

An Election Committee should regulate all aspects of the
electoral process. [1 page]

BC should set its course toward Proportional Representation
[PR]. I think the preferential plus system is a really bad idea and
will split this province even more than it is. Our old
majority system clearly does not work anymore. [1 page]
