Proceeding contribution from Lord De Mauley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on Elections: Voting Systems.
Elections: Voting Systems
My Lords, the situation surrounding the election by members of a party of a leader of their party, where a single person is being selected rather than a party, is completely different from that for electing a party to government, where there is a need for accountability, stability and ease of use for voters. If there is little else in the Government’s handling of voting that I welcome, it is what I take to be their conclusion on PR for Westminster: they will have no truck with it. I hope that the Minister and I at least can agree on that.
