Thankyou for all of your hard work. I believe that this is an
excellent grass roots process to find out how the current voting
system in BC can be improved. We have certainly had some
unacceptable outcomes in the election of the last 8 years. In 1996,
the NDP was elected without a majority of voters supporting them.
In 2001, the Liberals won 57% of the vote and got 97% of the seats
in the legislature. I don't think either of these results work for
the public and for a true democracy. In a democracy, everyone
should have an equal voice and these two results clearly show this
is not the case.
I am in favour of changing the voting system to a proportional
representation system. I like the mixed pro rep system that is used
in New Zealand [MMP]. I feel that this would be a good choice for
the people of BC.
