I have already made a brief submission to the Assembly,
advocating in favour of the MMP system of proportional
representation for BC.
Having been informed recently that a small number of influential
individuals have tried to steer the Assembly away from an MMP
solution and towards the much less promising and more complicated
STV system, I felt compelled to make a second submission in support
of the MMP system.
The Assembly must put forward the option with the greatest chance
of receiving sufficient votes from BC citizens, in order for us to
finally get the proportional representation we so badly need.
Clearly, this most promising option is the MMP system.
I urge the Assembly to truly reflect majority opinion as expressed
in the public input process, and give the MMP option the support it
deserves. Otherwise, we risk missing out on a great opportunity to
have greater democracy in this province, by giving opponents of
"pro rep" all the ammunition they need to shoot down the
proposal.
