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

Proceeding contribution from David Wilshire (Conservative) 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 am most grateful. The hon. Gentleman claimed that under the first-past-the-post system, someone who gets 6 per cent. of the vote can be elected. I am puzzled. Could he explain how, with just 6 per cent. of the vote, under the first-past-the-post system, someone could win?
