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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 am concerned that young people are losing interest in voting
because the present election system allows a minority of voters to
sometimes elect governments and a large percent of the voters not
to be represented at all. [1 page]

I've made a list of what I don't like in BC Politics and then a
list of what I think we need. Possibly the PR-STV model
would best address the needs of BCers. Or use the model used to
choose the Citizens' Assembly. [4 pages]
