MPs call for electoral reform as public confidence in political process hits all-time low
A ballot box arrives during the count for the Blackpool South by-election at Blackpool Sports Centre, Blackpool, May 2, 2024
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
MPs ACROSS the Commons have urged a change in Britain’s voting system as public confidence in the political process hits an all-time low.
The all-party group for fair elections — the biggest such cross-party group in the Commons, and larger than the Tory opposition — called for a national commission to look at electoral reform.
Their demands are backed by opinion polling suggesting that the public would back such a commission by a majority of five to one.
