The majority of MPs voted in favour of holding a referendum on any proposed change to the voting system used to elect members of the House of Commons. The majority of MPs also supported a national debate on the "Jenkins system"[1]; a mixed system of Alternative Vote, combined with Top-up seats.
The approved motion read:
That this House
-
recognises that different electoral systems may be appropriate for elections to different institutions;
-
commends the Government's commitment to let the final decision on the voting system for the House of Commons be made by the people in a referendum; and
-
welcomes the Government's approach which allows for a full debate in the country on the merits of the Jenkins system[1] before a referendum is held.
