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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

MMP leaves our current system of one local representative per
riding intact, then achieves proportionality with the second vote
for the preferred party. It is simple to understand and vote
counting is straightforward and transparent. [1 page]

I urge the Assembly to change our electoral system to a
Proportional Representation [PR] system. This would give
us something resembling pure democracy. [1 page]
