Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on Elections: Voting Systems.
Elections: Voting Systems
My Lords, the Minister has not touched on one point that I raised. Does he agree that, given that the role of your Lordships’ House is to scrutinise what the Government do rather than to support them, the first past the post system would not be an appropriate method for electing Members of your Lordships’ House, should elections occur?
