I support a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting system for BC. The the Single Transferable Vote [STV] system is too complicated, not as fair, not as proportional, and leads to more competitive politics. [1 page]

I support a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting system for BC.

What I see is that the Single Transferable Vote [STV] system is too complicated, not as fair, not as proportional, and leads to more competitive politics.

I also see that other commissions that have studied electoral reform have rejected STV, including the Jenkins Commission in the UK, the Royal Commission on Electoral Reform in New Zealand, and most recently the Law Commission of Canada, which recommended an MMP system of voting federally in Canada.

I see that New Zealand supported MMP over STV by 70% to 17%, which too is very telling.
