Andy Burnham pledges fight for voting system change

Original: new statesman

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says he will campaign at the next general election on a promise to change Britain's voting system, pressing the case for proportional representation. The pledge puts electoral reform back on the political agenda and signals a challenge to Labour's leadership direction, with commentators weighing what it means for the party's future and for UK elections.

Why now: Burnham is a prominent potential leadership challenger and his election reform pledge is seen as a significant political move.
