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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

We are tired of voting in elections and not having our electoral
choice represented. We support a mixed member
proportional [MMP] system of voting for BC. It seems
the fairest system to us and would encourage more people to vote.

I favour MMP for BC. The current system fails
us because the popular vote does not always
correspond with who actually holds the power. I would
have more faith in the system if there was a more realistic
representation of the electorate. [1 page]

A wholehearted yes to MMP and to: checks on government power;
cooperative processes in office; less apathy in voters; stability
in governance and legislation; and to a fairer, smarter system of
voting. [1 page]

I support an MMP electoral system for BC.
It's outrageous that this country has retained its present SMP
system in the 21st Century. A proportional representation method
ought to have been in place at least 30 years ago. [1 page]

I favour an MMP] system like the one in New Zealand.
Then my vote might have an influence in the way the government is
formed. Hopefully coalition governments would help
parliament to weave ideas into meaningful legislation. [1 page]
