I am in favour of Mixed Proportional Representation [MMP] as the most democratic method of voting for government.

I believe that it is important to be able to vote both for the individual who best represents one's interests, concerns and goals as well as the party that best represents these attributes. While these may be embodied within the same individual it is not neccessarily the case.

I appreciate that the diversity of opninions and values that an elected assembly is likely to represent under such a sytem can make it difficult to arrive at decisions, however it is not impossible and their are examples of this type of electoral system being implemented effectively.

This is a critical opportunity for our province to align itself with the modern democratic systems across the globe and I trust that you will take this responsibility seriously and not let partisan concerns or the fear of unknowns affect your responsibility or judgement.

I thank you for your leadership in this important matter.
