Abstract
With the current FPTP system we have an opportunity to put a piece of paper in a box every few years, but no ongoing participation or representation in government.  We should change to proportional representation [PR]. [1 page]

Submission Content
Change is long overdue. Far too many people in BC (and all Canada) feel antagonism toward or apathetic about our political process because we feel unrepresented in government, and don't believe casting a vote will change that. With the current first past the post system we have an opportunity to put a piece of paper in a box every few years, but no ongoing participation or representation in government.  Let a change from our current system to proportional representation [PR] be our next step toward true participatory democracy.
