Background

Such significant constitutional change should have the full backing of the country, not just Parliament. Pass legislation that requires this and any future government to require a national referendum for any changes to our voting system.

Additional details

Whilst a Government may have a large parliamentary majority they can achieve this with a low share of the national vote. Significant constitutional change should have a level of support that is deeper than a parliamentary majority. The best way to achieve this is with a national referendum.
