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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

BELAK-1511

I strongly support a proportional representation [PR] electoral system for BC.  [1 page]
Category: Electoral system change
Author: Kaleb Belak

BROWN-1510

Some system of PR will represent all voters' philosophies in the legislature. This would result in a much more legitimate government. The system used in NZ [MMP] seems the fairest and most effective of all the systems I have read about. [1 page]

ELDER-1509

A New Zealander staying us has a positive view of MMP; people feel their vote counts and minority groups are more likely to have a representative. There may be problems when an MLA changes party or becomes an independent. [2 pages]

KALLER AND LUPTON-1508

Proportional representation [PR] would allow more debate and cooperation, reduce swings from one administration to another and probably save money (think of the costs of initiatives that get cancelled).  [1 page]
