In a major step forward, Labour Party Conference has voted for a manifesto commitment to proportional representation for general elections.
This is a huge moment for democracy in the UK. Now all major parties, bar the Conservatives, are united on the need for electoral reform and committed to delivering a fair electoral system where every vote counts.
The motion, backed by Labour party members and affiliated unions called for:
- Labour to make a commitment to introduce proportional representation for general elections in the next Labour manifesto.
- During its first term in office the next Labour government must change the voting system for general elections to a form of PR.
- Labour should convene an open and inclusive process to decide the specific proportional voting system it will introduce.
Will you tell Keir that we want a manifesto commitment for Proportional Representation?
Labour Conference has chosen to back fair votes but his doesn't mean PR will automatically go into the Labour manifesto though - it still needs support from Keir Starmer.
Will you add your name to our call to tell the Labour leader you want to see a manifesto commitment to proportional representation.
