However, as the majority in favour of reform was small and there were immediate attacks on the findings by prominent members of the party, it does not look as if Labour will become a champion of proportional representation overnight. Until recently it was an interesting feature of British elections that relatively few voters changed their opinion from one general election to the next, and indeed, most seemed to vote consistently for one party all their adult life. As we have seen, some commentators believe that this pattern is changing.
This, however, represented the high point of their achievement. In 1975 the government announced that limited devolution, a transfer of powers stopping short of self-government, would be introduced for Scotland and Wales and in 1979 referendums were held in both countries to gauge the popular mood towards the proposals. In the event, only 12 per cent of the Welsh electorate and 33 per cent of the Scottish electorate voted in favour of the proposals and the government concluded that this did not justify the introduction of devolution.
At the end of the period of interviewing and consulting, the Prime Minister will have a Cabinet consisting of some twenty ministers, and a further seventy to eighty junior ministers. When they have been appointed, ministers go to Buckingham Palace, to be received by the monarch and kiss hands on appointment. The Cabinet ministers will also be sworn in as Privy Councillors, if they are not members of the Council already. Most of the important ministers will be members of the Commons, but the Prime Minister must remember that there are obligations to the Lords as well, and some ministers will come from the upper House, the most important of them being the Lord Chancellor.
