Glad to hear that some politicians understand democracy and have a sense what's right. I wonder how long they'll last?

More than twenty members from both sides of the House lined up to condemn Britain’s First Past the Post system on Thursday, describing it as “unrepresentative”, and “outdated”, with just a handful of Conservatives speaking up in favour of the status quo https://bylinetimes.com/2025/01/31/flawed-voting-system-uk-labour/

I don't usually agree with referendums, but a well worded one could be had on this to see how much the public engage when they think their vote counts. (Advisory only. We don't want a repeat of anything crazy.) Too many elections with very low turnouts is not good for any kind of democracy.

The "National Commission for Electoral Reform" is often named, but there are never details of its operation. I am campaigning to replace the electoral system of Quebec and Canada and this name may have a different meaning for you.

Is this a standardized process (internal or external to parliament)? How would this be planned? How will it work? Who will be part of it? According to which selection? Thanks in advance.
