Three independent MLA's are calling for democratic reform in Victoria.

They want bans on union and corporate donations to political parties, moving the fixed election date to the fall, and Elections B-C oversight of party leadership contests.

Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson says there were irregularities in both the Liberal and NDP leadership races.

He says, "the revelation that a cat had a membership, the revelation that some of the memberships were actually had addresses that were at a restaurant, in the case of the NDP the questions surrounding the boxes of memberships and the bags of money, there have long been questions surrounding the nature of those memberships."

MLA's Vicki Huntington and John Van Dongen are also backing the proposed changes.
