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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 PR-STV. To improve party proportionality and to
encourage a high turnout with voluntary voting, I propose that the
exact number of MLAs elected by each district should not be
finalised until after the votes are cast. [1 page]

I believe we are in critical times whereby democracy is not
being served because we have a skewed system of representation. It
is essential that we reform the present system immediately. [1
