Proceeding contribution from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Electoral System.
Electoral System
It has been alleged that the present system is advantageous for the Labour party, but I have checked whether people who come to my surgery have registered to vote. Sometimes, as many as 40 per cent. on them are not on the register. Many people who left the register when the poll tax was introduced by the Conservatives were our supporters.
