Submission Content
As is often the case, we can see parallels between the social and the natural world.

A healthy ecosystem supports and encourages a wide range of species. The more diversity that exists in the system, the more effectively it can resist destructive forces.

A weak ecosystem, like a monocultured crop, encourages only its own propagation. This is exactly the behaviour we see on the current political landscape: politicians and parties that exist only for their own re-election.

I would strongly support the adoption of a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] system, which would promote political diversity in the legislature and give a more effective voice to ALL citizens of British Columbia.

Thank you.
