00:00Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey is calling on incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham to introduce proportional representation before the
00:09next general election, without holding a referendum.
00:12Sir Ed says that changing the voting system would help to reshape politics, and he has offered to work with
00:19the new Labour leader on reforming the system.
00:21Mr. Burnham has previously backed proportional representation in principle, but recently suggested that any change should be part of Labour's
00:29next election manifesto.
00:31The issue is expected to be debated in Parliament later this year, with supporters arguing electoral reform deserves further consideration
00:39across the political spectrum.
