Proceeding contribution from Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 3 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scottish Parliament (Candidates) Bill [HL].


Scottish Parliament (Candidates) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am sorry to intervene. Surely, in a single transferable vote system, although three members may be elected equally—I agree that they are of equal status—to represent three seats, under that system there will be candidates who will not get elected. They will be the losers.
