The system badly needs changed. I have just reviewed your web
site and found Adrienne Carr's position the most well thought out.
Clearly those submitting support MMP, as I do.
To quote Carr's summary (
http://greenparty.bc.ca/news/2004/06/78.php):
"Change BC's voting system.
So far, 98 percent of the submissions to your assembly are calling
for change. Honour the will of these good citizens and recommend
the system that most of them prefer.
Choose a Mixed Member Proportional Representation (MMP) voting
system, combining list-PR with local constituency representation.
This system is most faithful and fair in translating the will of
voters into election outcomes and the make-up of the legislative
assembly, which is the fundamental goal of a democratic voting
system. MMP is also the choice most widely supported by citizens in
your public input process. It gives voters more effective
representation than any other voting system - retaining local
representation and providing representation for "constituencies of
interest" so that every voter, in every part of BC, is represented
by the election of some MLAs to whom they can turn for help and to
whom they feel akin as their politically aligned advocates. MMP
leaves out the fewest voters. It gives us the greatest chance to
get effective government and effective opposition over the
long-term."
