I support proportional representation [PR] for the
electoral system in BC and indeed for all of Canada. I believe it
would be a much fairer representation of the population and that
voters would participate more actively, and feel more heard by
their governing body. As it stands, people feel that their vote
doesn't count and that very important decisions are being made for
the province and for the country which are opposed to all our
principles. The system as used in many European countries seems to
work well, where approximately half of the seat are directly voted
in and half are awarded according to percentage of votes.
