I want to encourage the Citizens' Assembly to recommend
reforming the election system to one of proportional
representation, such as in place in countries such as New Zealand
[MMP]. I believe this is a more democratic and representative
system and will encourage more participation in the electoral
process. And although I believe that such a system will produce
more minority governments, I welcome this as it would require more
co-operation and consensus among different viewpoints. I am
grateful for this chance to refrom the electoral system and I look
forward to the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly.
