Electoral reform: Strong support for proportional representation among Labour members
By James Tibbitts
Two thirds of Labour members would support a significant change to the UK voting system towards proportional representation, exclusive polling for LabourList reveals.
The poll, conducted by Survation, found that 66% of members would back a shift away from first-past-the-post in favour of PR for future elections.
Electoral reform has long been a debate in Labour circles, but as this polling demonstrates, there is clearly a sense of appetite amongst members to see a fundamental shift to the voting system in favour of a proportional approach....
💯 “It’s so clear that we need a new system, fit for the 21st century, and the conversation amongst MPs is shifting from "if" to "when" and "how". As a first step the Government should set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform” 🌹 @alexsobel.co.uk #Labour4PR
