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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 support proportional representation [PR]. It would
be fairer if a party's share of seats equaled its share of the
province wide vote. [1 page]

It is essential that Canada change to a system of Proportional
Representation [PR]: more women would be elected; people would no
longer feel voiceless; more young people would vote; most countries
have changed to PR. [2 pages]

I support MMP for BC with 53 constituency seats and 26 party
semi-open list seats. Parties should run candidates in 50% of the
constituencies to gain list seats and party list
candidates should be selected democratically. [1 page]

I believe BC should implement proportional
representation [PR], which has worked well in such countries as NZ.
Once voters see that their selections are reflected in the
Legislature they will be much more enthusiastic about voting. [1
