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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 definitely a proponent of proportional representation
[PR] in British Columbia. I feel the current system is
inadequate and unfair. I believe that more people will vote if they
know that their vote will count. [1 page]

I would like to see BC move towards proportional representation
[PR]. Currently, small political parties are effectively locked out
of power by the neccessity of raising large amounts of money for
advertising. [1 page]

I prefer a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system similar to the
one they have adopted in New Zealand. It is simple enough to
understand and accomplishes my goals of representation by popular
vote. [1 page]
