Westminster urged to follow Holyrood’s lead and introduce PR elections July 31, 2021, 12:05 am
Westminster’s first past the post election system means the votes of millions are ‘ignored’, the Electoral Reform Society said (Victoria Jones/PA)
Westminster’s first past the post voting system is “failing” Scotland, with millions of votes “ignored”, campaigners have said.
The Electoral Reform Society (ERS) insisted it was now “long overdue” for all elections to be conducted using proportional representation (PR), as it claimed the method used to elect MPs to the House of Commons should be “consigned to history”.
The campaigning body used the anniversary of the Referendums (Scotland and Wales) Act on July 31 1997 to call for changes to be made.
