And now for the commons? Lessons from Britain's first experience with proportional representation

Until now, the debate about the consequences of introducing proportional representation (PR) in Britain has either relied upon speculation and simulation, or drawn inferences from the experiences of other countries. However, in May and June 1999 British voters had a chance for the first time to vote for real representatives under a PR system. In May the first elections for members of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly were conducted under an additional member system (AMS). In June the European Parliament election was held using a closed party list system. This article considers some of the lessons of this experience and the implications they might have for the debate about changing the electoral system for the House of Commons in the wake of the Jenkins Report (Jenkins, 1998).
