Proceeding contribution from Lord Maxton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on Elections: Voting Systems.

My Lords, I assume that the noble Lord is not suggesting that the alternative vote system is somehow a proportional system. It is another system of first past the post, albeit slightly more sophisticated than the existing one. But that is all it is.
