HAGUE TO DEFEND FIRST-PAST-THE-POST William Hague has pledged to defend the first-past-the-post voting system.
Mr Hague told the Tory conference that the Jenkins Commission on electoral reform was "rigged" and it would probably produce a "rigged report".
He went on to describe "four steps to victory" at the next general election.
The first was May's local elections, then next May's local elections, then elections to Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, and the Euro elections.
