Submission Content
The announcement last week of the selection of the final presenters makes me very suspicious of this entire process. There is little doubt about the need for an overhaul of our "first-past-the-post" system. As I'm sure you are all aware in the last BC election - Gordon Campbell's Liberals received 58% of the popular vote yet received 97 percent of the seats.

Mixed member proportional representation (MMP), an electoral system with a proven track record of producing fairer results, is,  in my opinion, our best (only) choice.  It scares me to think Nick Loenen's proposal (Preferential-Plus) [Loenen 0035] is even being discussed.
