Submission Content
I have been counting on your obvious dedication to performing your duties as an assembly of actual citizens to honestly look at all the options, listen to what other citizens have to say, and then choose what is clearly the most democratic of all voting systems developed so far, and recommend we go to a Pro. Rep. system. Then I find out you are adking for submissions regarding an STV system.

I can only conclude from this that you are either making sure that you hear from everyone who has been paying attention, or that someone has gotten to all of you and you are being paid off somehow. If it's the former here is my submission. It is clear to me that proportional representation [PR] is clearly and hands down the best system of democracy humans have been able to employ on a large scale to date. Particularly if care is taken to not allow the minimum percentage of votes to qualify as a party to be too low.

Please folks, if this is your idea of a joke, it isn't funny. Do the right thing for the province and your descendants, and don't go STV. Recommend proprtional representation.
