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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

GRAHAM-1408

I am in favour of the MMP model (similar to NZ).  I want to be able to vote for a local candidate and for a party and I think it is vital to have equal seats for equal votes. Minority governements are not necessarily poor governments. [1 page]

FRINTON-1406

A mixed model [MMP] is probably most appropriate, involving proportional representation, ranked voting [AV], and a mechanism to discourage cronyism among core party hacks who might put their names up for at-large representation. [1 page]

KORICAN-1405

When the votes are counted in single member ridings and the government selected, there should be some way to compensate the opposing parties for the percentage of the votes they have won; a proposal to achieve this outcome. [9 pages]

HARRIS-1404

BC has suffered from flip-flop governments and their polices. PR should even the playing field and help give people hope as they will know their vote won't be wasted. Let's work together for a future in which we all have a say. [1 page]
