I support a change in our voting system. The sort of
politics we have had to endure over the last number of elections
has been very dispiriting, I believe for most of us.
It’s no wonder that voter participation, especially
among young people, is on the decline.
Having been thinking about this for a long while, and having
read your very informative handout “Hope for Democracy
in BC”, I think some sort of Mixed Member Proportional
(New Zealand) system makes by far the most sense for British
Columbia. I accordingly urge you to work on a proposal
for this system, as it be properly put into legislative language,
for the 2005 referendum.
I shall follow developments in the work of the Assembly with
great interest. All good wishes to you.
