It is quite obvious to most citizens of this province that our
governments place corporate interests above those of people. This
has spawned what I and many others consider to be a
corporate dictatorship. I don't know when, exactly, corporations
began to have more rights than people, but this seems to be the
case. Partly, this has more to do with the legal system and less to
do with politics, but if governments were responsible, this
situation would not have occurred. There seems to be little will on
the part of any government to rectify this situation.
Therefore I am supporting the Proportional Representation system
similar to the one in New Zealand although I believe that it would
have to be slightly modified to represent the the unique character
of British Columbia.
I also think that any new system should exclude corporate political
donations and influence peddling (lobbying) that interferes with
true democracy as exists today.
