I used to be in favour of First Past the Post… But I had a major change of heart after I listened to a fantastic debate at the October 2021 Unite policy conference when our union voted to support PR.”

New: Over 100 MPs have signed an amendment to the Representation of the People Bill calling for a national commission into electoral reform.
The amendment, tabled by the chair of the APPG for Fair Elections Alex Sobel, has been signed by 72 Labour back benchers.
Electoral Reform has taken on a new significance recently in light of support from potential leadership contenders: Andy Burnham said this weekend he is "committed to proportional representation".
The bill's third reading is expected in mid-to-late June (possibly later).
✅ Labour members voted for a motion to bring in Proportional Representation.
✅ Most Labour-affiliated unions support PR.
It's great to see senior figures from across the party embrace electoral reform as well.
First Past the Post has had its day. It's time to move on.
“Wes Streeting is expected to throw his weight behind electoral reform... [he] has yet to set out his position on overhauling the voting system in the UK but @theipaper understands he is supportive of changing the First Past the Post system”

“Things have shifted. The public already know that the current system doesn’t work and the overwhelming majority of Labour members agree. It’s great that we now have a very serious prospect of updating the way we vote.”
