Proceeding contribution from Richard Burden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on House of Commons (Effectiveness).


House of Commons (Effectiveness)

The hon. Gentleman and I may disagree over proportional voting systems, but if Labour wins the election it is likely that we will have not the proportional system but the alternative vote. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it should not be we politicians, but the people who decide these matters through a referendum? Does he agree that the people should be given a choice about what voting system we have?
