MPs back Gordon Brown's plan for referendum on voting system
10 February 2010
A Referendum on sweeping changes to Britain's electoral system took a step nearer reality last night when parliament voted in favour of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's plans to change the voting system at general elections.
Despite opposition from the Tories and some Labour MPs, the Commons voted 365 to 187 to ask the British public whether first-past-the-post should be scrapped in the biggest shake up of the electoral system in generations.
