80% of Constituency Labour Parties backed the PR resolution at the September 2021 Labour Conference.

It was defeated.

The majority of affiliates (mainly trades unions - but others too) voted against.

There was no support from the party leadership, despite Starmer's pledge during the leadership election campaign. Another of his broken promises!

Most recent YouGov polling shows 42% public support for PR (up to 62% among Labour voters). That is without any recent noticeable national campaign to make the case.
