The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011 (c. 1) is an Act passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Bill for the Act was introduced to the House of Commons on 22 July 2010 and passed third reading on 2 November by 321 votes to 264. The House of Lords passed the Bill, with amendments, on 14 February 2011,〔(Lords Hansard ) parliament.uk〕 and after some compromises between the two Houses on amendments, it received Royal Assent on 16 February. The Act brings together two different constitutional aims of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition: * The Liberal Democrats have long promoted an alternative to first-past-the-post elections: the Act resulted in the United Kingdom Alternative Vote referendum in 2011 on introducing the Alternative Vote system for the UK Parliament. * Prior to the election, the manifestos of both coalition parties stated that they wished to reduce the number of Members of Parliament from 650: the Conservatives' target figure was 585; the Liberal Democrats' target was 500; the Act sets the future number of constituencies as 600. The Act also aimed to fulfill a Conservative aim to reduce the over-representation of Scotland and Wales, relative to the remaining English constituencies.〔(In Depth: The Conservatives will suffer electorally from the Liberal Democrats’ revenge over failure to support House of Lords reform - British Politics and Policy at LSE - 1 March 2013 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Population Estimates for UK, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Population Density Tables, 1981 to 2010 - (PARTIALLY SUPERSEDED) - ONS )〕 The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 later delayed implementation of the changes to the number of constituencies until the expected 2020 general election. ==Summary of Act==
