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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 strong desire for electoral reform in
BC. I favour proportional representation
[PR] because we need a fairer voting system to make the
number of seats won proportional to the number of votes won. [1

I favour some variant of proportional representation [PR]
because all votes would translate into actual
representation. It would be more difficult
to force through legislation pushed by lobbly groups
behind the scenes. [1 page]

We need a type of proportional representation [PR] as we
are a society that has grown out of the first past the post system.
We are more connected and we should all play a more active role in
politics. [1 page]

I am in favour of an MMP proportional
representation system. MMP would provide a
forum where all BCers would be made to feel as though their votes
are represented and that their voices will be heard in the
legislature. [1 page]
