“Until last week, ministers said it was 'premature to legislate now for one approach'. The PM has drawn the right conclusion: prematurity is an argument for starting deliberation, not deferring it”

Brilliant to see Labour MPs welcoming then PM’s announcement of a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

[Luke Akehurst @lukeakehurst]

I've been campaigning for a fairer, more proportional voting system for nearly 40 years so the PM's announcement in his speech is quite a moment for me.

[LCER @Labour4PR]

“I welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment to a National Commission.”

“We need to restore trust in our politics, and this is an important step in doing that.”

📌 The Prime Minister says electoral reform will "underpin our plan for Britain with a new politics"

Following the Prime Minister's announcement of a national commission on electoral reform, the UK's voting system is once again under scrutiny.

NatCen's British Social Attitudes data shows support for electoral reform remains higher than at any point before 2021. Support peaked at 60% in 2024, in the immediate aftermath of the most disproportionate election result in modern British history, before easing to 53% in 2025.

While opinion has cooled slightly over the last year, a majority of the public still favour changing the voting system, compared with 40% who support retaining First Past the Post.

As the debate continues, the data offers an important benchmark for understanding how public attitudes towards electoral reform are evolving.

Brilliant to see the Prime Minister announcing a National Commission on Electoral Reform!

Too many voters feel like politics does not speak for them.

Fully behind the PM on this as a strong supporter of Proportional Representation. Westminster needs fair elections.

Really good news that the Prime Minister has announced a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

Too many voters feel like politics does not speak for them.

I'm fully behind the PM on this as a strong supporter of Proportional Representation.

Westminster needs fair elections.

[LCER @Labour4PR]

"We've had a decade of turbulence in our politics and I think that has stopped Britain moving forward. If we look to the next decade I think we need to show that we can have a better politics, more about problem solving than point scoring"

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

A new National Care Service. Greater public control of water, energy, and housing. A National Commission on Electoral Reform. Strengthening our relationship with Europe. Reforming the education and welfare system.

Today I set out a different path for Britain.

You may disagree with some or all of what I have said today. But I have given you what you often say is missing from politics.

Honesty, ideas and a clear direction for the country we all love.

If you agree with enough of what I have said, get behind this plan. And get behind each other.

It's time to draw a line.

To move beyond a decade of drift and division.

To bring a spirit of unity and positivity back to our country.

To unlock the working-class aspiration that is still there in every postcode.

To hope again.

🥂 The #Labour4PR Reception has kicked off this evening at Blundell Street

🌹 Come along and celebrate the launch of a National Commission on Electoral Reform

[Alex Sobel MP for Leeds Central and Headingley @alexsobel]

I have long campaigned for this day

I want to thank all who campaigned for this. All the MPs who signed the amendment

We always said the PM could just announce it

Mandela said ‘It seems impossible until its done’

Rarely is a political moment so clear cut and so consequential

[LCER @Labour4PR]

"This is a historic moment in British politics. This is the start of something very, very different"
