1) I am in favor of a total revision of
the election system.
2) My choice is direct democracy; only
Canadian Citizens should vote with one person one vote.
3) There should be proportional
representation as in Switzerland.
4) The people should have the power to
submit an Initiative and force the government to submit a
proposition to the people at a Referendum.
5) Personally, I think that the work
undertaken by the Citizens’ Assembly will have only a
small chance of success. The last time we had an opportunity to
vote on a referendum to remove an errant MLA, it took months and
some prodding to find out that the Government were within their
constitutional powers to avoid having to let the voters decide.
6) I feel the next referendum stands
only a small chance of success. This will be so until
we get some way to make the referendums unconditionally binding.
