Proceeding contribution from Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
How can the Minister describe the situation where, let us say, the BNP voters’ second preferences just push the top person over 50 per cent, as ““50 per cent of the votes””, when the other preferences of all the other candidates are ignored? That is not 50 per cent in any meaningful sense.
