Proceeding contribution from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.


Government of Wales Bill

Is the hon. Lady aware of the situation of the leader of the Scottish National party, who, if he stood in a constituency and lost could then be elected through the list? Not only would a loser become a winner—a loser would become a leader. Is not that a rigged system? He is effectively betting on a three-horse race—he cannot lose.
