"Is it not time that we had a proper consideration in this House of changes to the voting system, so that the next election is not a disaster for democracy?"

The last General Election gave us an extremely disproportionate result, with the Government getting a massive Majority on just a third of the vote.

Current opinion polls show that the next election is due to be even more disproportionate, with the party currently leading the polls likely to get a majority on around 30%, perhaps even less, of the vote.

Given that is the case, given that there is huge support among members of the Labour party for voting reform, and given that Nigel Farage himself supports proportional representation, is it not time that we had a proper consideration in this House of changes to the voting system, so that the next election is not a disaster for democracy?
