I am a firm believer in proportional representation [PR]. It
makes the most sense for the people of BC, with our plurality and
our wide-range of opinions and desires, that we are in dire need of
a system that will finally reflect the views of all the
citizens of BC. I am sick and tired of voting against someone,
feeling that my vote doesn't count and watching the legislature
fill up with candidates who represent, at best, only 50% of the
entire province. Pro-rep has been proven to be an effective system
around the world. BC needs to make the change and move towards
pro-rep and a healthy democracy. Majority does not
rule.
