Fair Elections in Focus: Parliament Holds Landmark Debate on Proportional Representation
On Thursday 30th January Parliament held a crucial debate on Proportional Representation – the first stand-alone debate on PR in the Chamber of the Commons for many years. This was a real game-changer and moves our campaign forward alongside the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections which initiated the debate. We need a National Commission to investigate PR for the House of Commons and we need it now. The Minister said that to change the system “would require a national conversation” – well, what better way to commence that conversation than to set up a National Commission?
