Are Labour in favour of changing the voting system?

I don't think they are. Why would they be? It doesn't make any sense for them.

And even if members were, the PLP certainly aren't - as they'd lose their jobs.

Because of the SNP. Without Scotland, it would be very difficult for them to get a majority with FPTP.

the 1997 labour manifesto had a committment to changing the voting system

there was a consultation and its results were quietly buried

no reason to expect it would be different next time
