Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill (Money) (No. 3)

My hon. Friend is right to highlight the fact that the first-past-the-post system does not work even in its own terms. I can give the example of February 1974, when Ted Heath went to the country and said, ““Back me or sack me.”” Under the terms of the first-past-the-post system, more of the electorate voted for him than for any other party, but he still ended up sacked.
