Well said The Economist / Max Wilkinson Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Home Affairs)!!! J
The health of democracy unites us all in the Chamber.
Carnegie UK’s 2025 report gives the UK a score of just 41%.
Separately, The Economist has a new model looking at election outcomes, and after looking at more than 10,000 scenarios it concluded that running the next election under first past the post would be akin not to sending voters into a polling booth, but to sending them to Las Vegas and pulling a one-armed bandit.
There is a way out for the Government—it is good news.
In the new year, the Elections (Proportional Representation) Bill, tabled by my hon. Friend Sarah Olney, will return to the House.
Will the Government allot some time to discuss it and get behind it so that we do not risk Nigel Farage walking into No. 10 after the pull of a one-armed bandit machine?
Can we write to our respective (Labour) MPs to encourage them to hassle Keir...?
