Submission Content

The importance of only one chance at getting it right -- a revision in our traditional but outdated electoral system -- the first time for generations of voters in BC with your decision By December 2004 can not be overstated. Your opportunity to offer an acceptable electoral change as an option to all BC voters is of utmost importance. Non-acceptance of your recommendation by the required majority will see BC residents remain in the undemocratic bottom layer of humanity aspiring to democratic governance of progressive priorities.

With the obvious preponderance of MMP rather than STV system submissions to your committee. I must plead for your support of MMP. Acceptance of the STV though supported by a few highly educated honorable people, democracy is for and by the people, the hoi poloi if you will, who will choose their leaders as directly as possible and practicable at the time. Having called upon you to remedy the shortcomings of our present, traditional electoral system, a leap too far into the complex is not a requirement nor an expectation of the majority as the ratios of the submissions in your possesion clearly indicates.
