Submission Content
1. I would like a system where parties with a different approach than the mainstream parties have a opportunity in the legislature to have voice & vote.  The member or members may not necessarily represent a geographic area but would represent a portion of the voters who share the opinion of that party. If they manage to win a seat also, all the better.

2. Politicians when elected must be accountable to the electorate.  There should be some form of assurance that every two months, say, they must address the constituency they represent in person at a town hall meeting so that the local municipal or district elected officials & the public have a opportunity to meet with their MLA. It may not be in your mandate as yet, nonetheless, I would like it to be considered; maybe there is a area it would qualify.
