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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

PARKER-1506

More and more small groups are finding that consensus is the most practical and successful way to deal with matters which must be dealt with. [2 pages]

NIXON-1505

I favor a mixed member proportional system similar to the one in New Zealand. I believe that with an MMP system each party could stick to their own planks and not promise the world. It would be so much more realistic. [1 page]

TAYLOR-1504

I support the Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] system with a sensible threshold, as this system seems to give the best balance so that the large urban areas do not altogether dominate the much larger, but less populated, rural ones. [1 page]

KING-1503

I would like to see a change in Canada’s electoral system, (including provincial elections).  Perhaps something similar to the systems used in Australia or Germany would be the answer for us.  [1 page]

BOUCHARD-1502

I believe MMP is best because a party's overall share of seats in the legislature should equal its share of votes.  Government would become less adversarial and radical swings in government policy would be a thing of the past. [1 page]
