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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

Now, a large numbers of the voters are not being
represented by the party of their
choice and voters of different parties are
not being fairly represented. Some sort of proportional
representation [PR] is desperately needed here. [1

Both of us are long-time and strong supporters of a voting
system that would result in governments that reflect more or less
accurately the wishes of the electorate. MMP seems to
us to come closest to the ideal form for BC. [1 page]

Four reasons why MMP should be adopted in BC: everyone should
have a voice; legislation should be negotiated; small parties
should have a voice; MMP would help to keep the government
sensitive to the vulnerable in BC. [2 pages]
