Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
Notwithstanding the fact that AMS was the Labour solution in the constitutional convention, there is another elegant solution to deal with a number of the hon. Gentleman's concerns. Under STV, there would not be two distinct categories of Members of the Scottish Parliament. However, I presume that he wishes to end proportionality and return to Labour fiefdoms such as Glasgow council, 90% of whose members received 40% of the votes. Is that what he wants?
