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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 writing to express my very strongly felt
opinion that democracy in BC would be better served with
a chnage to the mixed member proportional (MMP) system
of voting' [1 page]

We do not like the present system because too often, we feel
unrepresented. We would prefer an MMP system
which would give our votes weight no matter how every one else
voted, and we would feel we live in a true democracy. [1 page]

I am asking for a change to a Mixed Member Proportional
Representation [MMP] method so I know that my vote will
count. [1 page]

My views on this subject are pretty clear. The present system
needs to be improved and some form of
MMP seems to be the best way. I would set
the threshold for party representation at 5%. [1 page]

I strongly believe that BC should use PR for all
future elections. The number of representatives should remain at
the present number with 70% constituency seats and the rest chosen
from party list candidates [MMP]. [1 page]
