Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 May 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adjournment (Whitsun).


Adjournment (Whitsun)

I understand the hon. Gentleman’s point and I am personally experiencing the frustration that follows from being a member of a party that won the popular vote in England, yet remains a long way behind in the number of seats. Does he agree with the strong rationale that the links between an individual working in a community and that community itself must be the bedrock of our democratic system? Does he accept that what he proposes inevitably means moving away from that link?
