Submission Content
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.
