Submission Content
Governments should be a model of balance, and our current system does not allow this. BC's government has been close minded since I can remember (15 years) because the ruling party has had a vast majority of seats while less than that of province wide support. Why listen to others when you can do whatever you want? We either have left or right, no centre, and that I believe has been holding the progress of our society back. At least with a mixed member proportional representation [MMP] system there will be less doubt about who the people of BC support and force those in power to work together for all. Citizens will feel more empowered with their vote, and may become more involved with the workings of our province. It is worth a try anyway, it's not perfect, but at least it is an attempt at balance.
