Submission Content

I am writing to you re this matter because I believe we must find a more inclusive system of provincial political representation in our province. First past the post has its merits but I think we need a system that is more finely tuned and responsive.

In that regard, I would like to recommend proportional represenation [PR] for a limited trial period with some means of correcting unforseen consequences where they may arise. It would appear that a system of proportional representation could make voters feel that their vote will really count. It would be most gratifying if PR resulted in higher voter interest and turnout at the polls.
