Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill (Money) (No. 3)

Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.
I did answer it, and I will answer it again. The answer is that, even under an alternative vote system, if there are only two candidates there will be no need for eliminating ballots. But, as I pointed out, the system that the Conservative party uses is a system of eliminating ballots. It is not first past the post.
