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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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.

If British Columbians want some form of proportional voting
system than maintains some form of local constituency, I would
either recommend an open-list system or single transeferable vote
with three to seven members per constituency. [2 pages]

I am in full support of electoral reform. I would like to see
some sort of proportional representation [PR] system in
order to prevent repeats of the current overwhelming majority in
the BC provincial government. [1 page]

The Assembly's efforts should be directed towards pressuring the
existing parties to change their non-democratic methods of
selecting candidates, and suggesting a "free votes"
to force MLAs to vote the wishes of their constituents.

I support mixed proportional representation [MMP]. I believe
that the voter would feel (and be) better represented and that
voter participation would increase. [1 page]
