近100名工党议员正敦促新任首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）在执政的前100天内支持成立全国选举改革委员会，以取代现行的“简单多数制”（first past the post）1。目前，已有185名议员联署相关修正案，其中98名工党议员联署了由亚历克斯·索贝尔（Alex Sobel）提出的修正案1。该修正案已提交至《人民代表法案》（representation of the people bill），该法案将于9月2日返回议会审议1。YouGov调查显示，53%的议员支持审查现行投票制度1。
首相府表示，伯纳姆仍致力于在下届党纲中推动选举改革，但未明确支持立即成立该委员会1。此前，伯纳姆曾在去年的工党大会上支持“在下届议会引入比例代表制”的党纲承诺1。此外，英国曾在2011年的公投中否决了选举改革1。
Nearly 100 Labour MPs are pressing new Prime Minister Andy Burnham to support the establishment of a national electoral reform commission within his first 100 days in office, aiming to replace the current "first past the post" voting system 1. Specifically, 98 Labour MPs have co-signed an amendment proposed by Alex Sobel, bringing the total number of MPs backing the amendment to 185 1. This amendment has been submitted to the Representation of the People Bill, which is scheduled to return to Parliament for review on September 2 1.
A YouGov survey indicates that 53% of MPs support reviewing the existing voting system 1. The Prime Minister's office stated that Burnham remains committed to advancing electoral reform in the next party manifesto, but did not explicitly support the immediate establishment of the commission 1. Burnham previously backed the party manifesto pledge to introduce proportional representation in the next Parliament during last year's Labour Party conference 1. The UK previously rejected electoral reform in a 2011 referendum 1.
