I am all in favour of a system of proportional representation
[PR]. I really object to the fact that, under the existing "first
past the post" system, my interests are frequently not represented.
I do not feel that "first past the post" is an appropriate system
of government when our elected representatives are often chosen by
a small minority of voters, leaving the rest of the voters feeling
unheard and disenfranchised. Our country is becoming more diverse,
and these diverse interests should be adequately represented by our
system of politics. Thank you.
