Democracy minister Alex Norris confirmed the Government now has “no plans” to reform the electoral system.
Party delegates voted to abandon the first past the post process and replace it with proportional representation (PR) at the 2022 Labour conference.
But after winning a 147-seat majority in the summer election there is now no prospect of change.
Analysis by the Electoral Reform Society found that if the 2024 election had used the “additional member” form of PR, Labour would have won just 236 MPs – not 411. In contrast, Reform UK would have won 95 instead of five seats.

Reform deputy leader Richard Tice, inset, said: “It’s clear our current electoral system is not fit for purpose. We got half a million more votes than the Lib Dems yet they got 14 times as many seats.”
In response to Labour’s Yasmin Qureshi asking if the Government would “make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a system of proportional representation,” Mr Norris said: “The Government has no plans to change the voting system for parliamentary elections.”
