Constituency Labour Party delegates are set to debate Proportional Representation at the party conference this week.

Keir Starmer has ruled out including any support for a change in the voting system in Labour’s election manifesto.

But that hasn’t stopped the issue from becoming a bit of a headache for him.

According to recent polling, nearly two-thirds of Labour supporters are in favour of PR.

If the party were to form a coalition with the Lib Dems, that would mean there would be overwhelming support among his voter base.

Professor John Curtice, who led the survey for the @NatCen, said the shift in opinion appeared to be driven by a change of mind among Labour supporters.
