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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 support some form of MMP because it
would give us governments that more accurately reflect the voting
wishes of British Columbians, and free us from large majority
governments without any effective opposition. [1

Seats won should be proportional to votes won [PR].
I don't believe adversarial politics has been getting us where we
want to go, and that a more consensual, or at least coalitional,
style would be more in line with my values. [1 page]

I would be in favour of a change to a voting system like New
