Proceeding contribution from Tom Levitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.
Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill (Money) (No. 3)
The other people who would benefit from AV are all the Members of this House. Everyone would then be able to say, ““I have the conditional or actual support of more than 50 per cent. of my electorate, and that gives me greater authority.”” In my three elections, that has happened to me only once, and unfortunately only one in three Members can say that it happened to them at the last election.
