Proceeding contribution from Lord Murphy of Torfaen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Constitutional Reform (Wales).

Constitutional Reform (Wales)

I am following the hon. Gentleman's arguments with great interest. I agree with some of them, but I am doubtful about the appetite in Wales—or the UK, for that matter—for introducing any other systems of proportional representation. It is daft to argue that the overwhelming vote against AV was because people wanted STV. People want a first-past-the-post system, so would it not be a good idea to have 60 or 80 AMs elected, two per constituency, by first past the post?
