This is our submission to you on the voting system we would like
to see in British Columbia. We do not like the present system
because too often, we feel unrepresented. We would
prefer a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] system similar to New
Zealand’s system. Such a system would give our votes
weight no matter how every one else voted and we would feel then
that we live in a true democracy.
It alarms us that so many people have “given
up” on voting or vote
“strategically’ because they think a
“lost” vote is no vote at all.
We do not agree with that way of thinking but a Mixed Member
Proportional system would show the value of each vote and it would
also help more than any polls to show political parties the trend
of thinking among the electorate. It appears to be so superior to
any other system we have heard of that we earnestly ask you to
recommend it.
