I would like to put my two cents worth in regarding the voting
changes that I would like to see in our system.
I am a proponent of proportional representation [PR]. I rarely
feel that my vote is ever heard in a majority government. I have
seen too many governments forge ahead with very serious and drastic
changes to our society that were never mentioned before any
election. The dictatorship presently in power in B.C. is a perfect
example. The other large percentage of voters must have a say in
these changes without having to resort to civil disobedience as I
have seen in the last couple of years.
I have been in countries in the middle of political upheaval and
I do not want to see that in country as great as Canada. We need to
have input and discussion from all the large blocks of voters
(say5-10%) to get away from the extremism in politics I am
seeing.
