Representation of the People Bill

Debate between Lisa Smart and Martin Wrigley

2nd reading
Monday 2nd March 2026 Commons Chamber

[Lisa Smart]

I strongly agree with my hon. Friend. I applaud the work she has done during her time here to move the case forward for a fairer, more representative voting system. The Bill is a huge opportunity and I look forward to working with colleagues across the House on how we can strengthen it and make it even better.

[Martin Wrigley]

Does my hon. Friend not agree that if the single transferable vote system is good enough for selecting Select Committee Chairs and the alternative vote system is good enough for mayors, they should be good enough in other elections, too?
