I support 'mixed member proportional representation [MMP].
Please do not inflict the counting system
below on BC citizens:
SINGLE TRANSFERABLE VOTE COUNTING PROCEDURE AS USED IN THE REPUBLIC
OF IRELAND
STEP 1 The ballot papers are sorted and counted according to first
preferences.
STEP 2 A quota is calculated using the Droop formula: divide the
number of valid ballot papers by N, and add 1, (where N is equal to
the number of seats to be filled, plus 1. Candidates whose number
of first preference ballot papers meet or exceed the quota are
declared elected.
STEP 3 If no candidate is elected the candidate with the least
number of first preference ballots is removed, and those ballot
papers are transferred to remaining candidates according to the
preference instructions the voter left on the ballot paper.
STEP 4 Whenever a candidate meets the quota, surplus ballot papers
for that candidate must be transferred to remaining candidates in
proportion to the support those remaining candidates received
within the total number of ballot papers for the just elected
candidate. The formula is as follows: the surplus number is divided
by the total number for the elected candidate, the resulting
fraction is multiplied by the number of ballot papers indicating a
preference for the unelected candidate.
STEP 5 Steps 3 and 4 are repeated until all seats except one are
filled. At that point the candidate with the highest number of
ballot papers among the remaining candidates is declared
elected.
