I am interested in your project and would like to send you my
idea for reform which is quite simple and I wonder if anyone else
has proposed it. I would call it Randomly Selected Member
Proportional Representation.
In it, BC would have 50 MLAs, each elected by 2% of the votes
cast. After voting, each voter would have the opportunity to put
his or her name into a box belonging to the party of his
or her choice if he/she were able and willing to serve
as an MLA for that party. After the number of seats
for each party was determined, the parties would each
draw the appropriate number from their respective boxes, pooled
from across the province. Those people would serve perhaps one two
or up to four year term. I think this would solve some of the
problems we have with career politicians. I hope the assembly will
run with it.
