I want to free my vote -- I want electoral change. I
don’t want to feel that I have to vote strategically,
that is, vote for a party I don’t really want in order
to oppose a party I definitely don’t want to represent
me.
I want my vote to count even if I vote for a party that
doesn’t represent the majority of the voters of
B.C.
I want a fairer representation in the province of the overall by
the proportion of the population. That votes for that party. ie:
the NDP have only 2 seats when they had 22% of the vote. And the
Green Party had no seats while they had 12% of the vote. And I know
that here on Quadra Island, the majority of the votes in the last
provincial election were for the Green Party. We got NO
representation.
I would like to be able to vote for a candidate that I like, as
well as, be able to vote for a party [MMP]. These two may be
different, that is, the candidate I want may not represent the
party I want.
