PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION

That this House notes with concern the rapid move to more elections by proportional representation, especially in the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish devolved bodies, and for EU elections; further notes that proportional representation can lead to unstable coalition government, and that in comparison to a first past the post system proportional representation leads to a lack of accountability with an elected representative who is not accountable to a certain geographical area, and to a specific local community; and seeks reassurance from the Government that such changes in the electoral process will not be considered for local and parliamentary elections in England.
