I am writing to voice my opinion that BC electoral system be
changed to Mixed Member Proportional Representation [MMP]. This is
the system which will work best for BC. I would like to speak on
behalf of BC's young adults and youth. We need a change. Today's
youth are disenchanted with the voting system. We need a voting
system in which everyone's vote will count and mixed member
proportional representation fills this need. A Single Transferable
Voting [STV] system is not proportional especially in smaller
ridings.
If mixed member proportional representation is adopted, I would be
fine with my riding size being larger, as long as one of my two
votes is a party vote and allows me fair representation of my
political viewpoint. Please let us inspire voters of all ages to
renew their voter participation in elections and move our electoral
system into the 21st century by adopting mixed member proportional
representation. Thank you.
