Letter: Britain must not rush into PR system
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Donald Macintyre (23 May) is right to identify the European elections of 1999 as an opportunity for Labour to introduce a pluralist voting system.But there is an earlier opportunity.
The Queen's Speech offered the people of London the opportunity to set up a strategic authority for our capital city. Labour is producing a consultation paper in July. To establish a strong, consensus-seeking assembly which will work with rather than in competition to a newly elected London mayor, we need PR for London.
