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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

With an MMP system, there will be less doubt about
who the people of BC support and force those in power to work
together for all. Citizens will feel more empowered, and may become
more involved with the workings of our province. [1 page]

I prefer a party list system of proportional representation with
the party leader at the top of a
party list of candidates. Candidates would be
elected in proportion to the votes gained
by each party list. [1 page]

I passionately believe that we need a more democratic system
that better represents today's society. A mixed system
[MMP] of locally elected candidates and party lists (see Germany)
would produce more stable and thoughtful governments. [1

I favour of some form of mixed proportional representation [MMP]
in future BC elections. This system preserves local representation
while ensuring that elected seats more accurately reflect the
popular vote. I am against STV. [2 pages]
