Abstract
|
BC should adopt a Mixed Member Proportional (MMP)
system. It is absurd that, under the current
system, a party getting 58% ofo the vote gets 97% of the
seats. That leaves 42% of the voters without elected
representatives. [1 page]

I would like to suport a proportional representation (Mixed
Member Proportional, MMP) as opposed to the current system. It is
absurd that a party getting 58% ofo the vote gets 97% of the seats.
That basically leaves 42% of the voters without elected
representatives to represents their opinions and choices. If we are
to have a real democracy we need another sytem.
