Yes, I remember the Labour party kept on banging on about PR whilst they were in opposition (in fact I seem to recall them forming a pact with the LibDems that they would introduce it once they got into power in 1992 - which they did not

Much like all the other Labour pre-election promises they have gone back on their word now they are in power!
