Modelling suggests Labour would win fewer seats under proportional representation than the current voting system.

Exclusive polling modelling shows how different voting systems would produce significantly different results in UK parliament. Under proportional representation, Labour would likely win fewer seats than under the current first past the post system, which could itself leave Labour short of a majority with 250 seats. The modelling indicates proportional systems would create a more finely balanced parliament.
