I would like to give my support to the New Zealand model of
proportional representation (Mixed Member Proportional,
MMP). I think this is the best way to give all British
Columbians a say in who represents them in
parliament.
In the past I have voted NDP but in the last election I voted
Green bcause I felt let down by the NDP. It was with
enormous frustration that because of our existing form of electing
our representatives to parliament, the Greens did not get even one
seat although they received 13% of the vote.
I look forward to the Citizens' Assembly helping to create a
positive alternative with MMP.
