Burnham to call for review of FPTP system
Nearly 100 Labour MPs support establishing a national commission to reform the UK’s voting system, specifically to replace the current first-past-the-post method. Labour leader Andy Burnham, a long-time advocate of electoral reform, is expected to support the initiative within his first 100 days as prime minister, with the aim of reporting before the next election and including reforms in the party’s next manifesto. A majority of MPs now back a review of the electoral system, and the proposal has broad cross-party support, although it does not currently require legislation.
