Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on House of Lords: Reform.
House of Lords: Reform
My Lords, it would be unwise of me to try to estimate how much support for change there is behind me, as my noble friend asks. I know that every one of my noble friends has an open mind and will be very keen to engage in the debate. That is why they are here and why they would pass the continuous assessment that the right reverend Prelate has in mind. A partially open list means that one can either vote for the party list or vote for someone on the party list. If the votes that the person one votes for individually are high enough—sorry, if the party list gets to a point where someone is elected from that list, if the votes for the individual are that high, he or she gets on rather than the person at the top of the list.
