Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 11 May 2011.
Electoral System: Alternative Vote Referendum
- Question
- The Clock was showing 29 minutes when I stood up. Does the Minister agree that there is a world of difference between looking after the election of office-bearers in a trade union or any other organisation and being involved in a referendum which is about the electoral system and being connected with something called the Electoral Reform Society? Does that not strike the Minister as something different from the norm?
- Answer
-
No, it does not. I know that the noble Baroness comes from Kelvin and so must be particularly bitter about the election but such a suggestion really does not stand up. Even by the standards of the noble Lord, Lord McAvoy, this is unworthy of the party opposite.
