Liberal Democrat leader Sir Evey said his party would “work with the government” to move away from the current electoral system.
The liberal Democrats have long supported electoral reform and support bringing in a form of proportional representation, which they feel is more fair to the people’s votes.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has backed electoral reform in his bid to become Labor leader in 2020 but it was not included in the Party’s general election last year.
Sir ED told the BBC he hoped the threat of a UK reform might make the PM “think again” about coming up with the “open-post” approach.
Speaking to Nick Robinson on BBC Politics, Sir ED said he wanted to scrap the first previous election for the Westminster parliament.
Under the FPPP, the candidate who wins the most votes in a constituency becomes an MP, and the Party with the most MPS forms a government.
Under proportional representation, the number of MPSs a party has is greater than the number of votes they get across the country.
Sir Ed, whose party won 72 MPs under the system last year, did not specify which form of proportionality he favored – but he stressed that his party remained committed to electoral reform.
“In fact I would go so far as to say I’m ready to work with the government if they wake up,” Sir Ed Robinson said.
“They got this loveless landslide, they didn’t need a small part of the vote with a lot they got, so maybe they thought there was an interest there was an interest.”
Back in February 2020, Sir promised
At the time, he said: “We need to talk about the fact that millions of people voted in safe seats and they feel their voice doesn’t count.
“Electoral reform needs to be addressed. We’re never going to engage in our electoral system until we do that at every level.”
However, no pledge was included in Labor’s 2024 election manifesto and the government did not return a BEB DEM Try Choosing Reform With a ten-minute ruling on the bill aimed at introducing proportional representation in December last year.
Although Sarah Olnament’s bill with the majority of the second period, including more working hours continued by the government, with plans to drink to journalists “there is no plan” there is no plan “to change the standing system.
Speaking last year, Olney highlighted how the victory of the Labor Party won 63% of the seats in the house with 34% of the vote “.
He said: “Thanks to the first pass of the post almost 60% of people who voted in the general election in July were not represented in parliament by the candidate of their choice.
“This is the most lopsided election result this country has ever seen.”
Urging Sir Keir to revisit the idea of reform, Sir ED warned that there is a main Party “the majority of a small part of a small part of the vote”.
“I hope they will think again about the wisdom of the first past,” he said.
“There is a potential and in a small part of the vote and I hope people will be concerned.”
Nigel Farage is a long-term supporter of proportional representation, with his Party promising to introduce it in their 2024 Manifesto, with no representation in parliament “Under the current system.
But in May this year, Farage tells an event to the viewer: “I think if PR is always initiated in this country, we will end up in a situation of gridlock.
“We can’t do frankly ambitious, and in some cases radical, things.”
