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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

BREKKE-0017

A preferential voting system should be use to elect constituency members with additional members chosen, in proportion to the party vote, chosen from unsuccesful party candidates in the order of their vote share [MMP with AV]. [2 pages]

BREMMER-0170

I strongly encourage the selection of a New Zealand-style Mixed Member Proportional election system. I don't want my vote to be wasted, and I favour coalitions as a way of reaching decisions that are supported by a majority of voters. [1 page]

BREMMER-1022

I can't believe the assembly has chosen STV advocates as 3 of the 9 final presenters, even though only 4% of the BC respondants were in favor of STV.  Please choose MMP as the referendum option. [1 page]

BRENNAN-1244

I support a system similar to the MMP system adopted by NZ in the 1990s which combines PR with some local representation. I also think that MMP enjoys the most public support in BC currently and would be supported in a referendum. [1 page]

BRENNEISEN-1367

Having lived with the results of the mixed member proportional [MMP] system in Germany I can only emphasize the importance of not implementing it in BC. [2 pages]
