Political Parties and Elections Bill — to throw out — rejected — 20 Oct 2008 at 21:43

The majority of MPs voted against throwing out the Political Parties and Elections Bill by rejecting the motion:[1]

  • This House declines to give a Second Reading to the Political Parties and Elections Bill, because it
  • imposes arbitrary and partisan new local spending rules at the end of a Parliament, which are designed to give an unfair advantage to Labour hon. Members in marginal seats in the forthcoming general election,
  • proposes the commencement of vague trigger rules at Royal Assent, before Electoral Commission guidance has been produced, in contravention of the Government Code of Practice on Guidance on Regulation,
  • contains new powers of entry into people's homes which risk undermining public confidence in giving to political parties,
  • imposes disproportionate additional costs on local constituency associations and voluntary political parties, fails to tackle growing concern over electoral fraud, and
  • lacks a comprehensive package of proposals to restore trust in politics, which would include the introduction of individual voter registration and an across-the-board cap on donations covering individuals, business and the trade unions.

Following the rejection of this proposed motion, the MPs then voted again to give the Bill its Second Reading.[2]
