Labour MP Alex Sobel said the first-past-the-post system is ‘not working’ (PA) - (PA Wire)

Ministers must be “bold” and establish a national commission to help reform the “unrepresentative” voting system used for UK parliamentary elections, according to a Labour MP.

Alex Sobel (Leeds Central and Headingley), who supports proportional representation, said the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system is “not working” and is “desperately in need of an upgrade”.
