Proportional Representation;amdt. Line 1:

EDM number 22A1 in 1996-97, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 24/10/1996.

leave out from `representation' to end and add `in New Zealand has been widely welcomed by the electorate who liked the fact that they now have two votes, one for party, one for a candidate and hence much greater influence and which has substantially reduced the support third parties were demonstrating in the polls and boosted the Labour Party so far that it is now in a position to form and lead a government in which it and other parties work together to fulfil the intentions of the electorate, and which will because it embodies the votes of a minority imposing its views and policies on the majority as has usually been the case in the past; and looks forward to Labour government giving citizens in this country the chance to decide on the electoral system they want in a voting referndum.'.

This is a ammendment to 22.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
