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

The advantage of first past the post is that you are producing a Government who rest on confidence in the Commons. That is where the first past the post system has its advantage.
