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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BARTOSH AND LISICIN-1466

From the bit of research that we’ve done, it sounds like the type of representational system they have in New Zealand [MMP] might work. It sounds a bit complicated, but it seems to more fairly reflect voters’ intentions. [1 page]

LAKE-1465

I favour MMP.  The voter should also be given the opportunity of voting 'no party' in the party vote.  If 'no party' votes were a majority in the riding, the runner-up candidate would be elected instead of a party list candidate. [1 page]

PENNOCK-1464

I support change to MMP.  One-half of the members should be elected in constituency races and the remaining one half should be elected from party lists.  A 5% threshold for a party to get seats should be included. [1 page]

STREET-1622

Canadian politics needs proportional representation [PR].  We need alternative views and a creative forum for discussion and long term programs. Only more diversity (parties) in the Legislature will make this possible. [1 page]

JORDAN-1599

The most important thing right now in Canadian politics is the need for proportional representation [PR].  We need alternative views and a creative forum for discussion. Only more diversity in the Legislature will make this possible. [1 page]
