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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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 suggest MMP where the PR element does
not depend on party lists. The PR seats would be
chosen from among a party's riding candidates
who received the highest percentage of votes but failed to win a
seat [best losers]. [1 page]

If we have to have proportional representation [PR] of some kind,
then no more than 10 seats should be chosen to be allocated
proportionally; 5 for the area west of Hope, and 5 for
the part of BC that lies beyond Hope. [1 page]

MMP looks to me like the system that would more fairly represent
more of the people and their views. People would
believe that their vote really counts and they were more truly
represented. [1 page]
