Re: Maple Ridge MLA leading group on electoral reform.
Congratulations to MLAs Bob D’Eith and Sonia Furstenau for heading up this important initiative to bring in proportional representation for British Columbia.
I never again want to see a ‘majority’ government that a minority of voters supported.
Proportional representation will also be a significant improvement because it will mean that there will be a diversity of MLAs in the Interior and rural B.C. – politicians of all colors.
This means that rural B.C. will be much better represented because the voices of voters will truly be represented in our legislature.
Proportional representation will be a solid step in a positive direction for our democracy.
It can’t happen too soon.
