Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (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
If that were the case, I would wholeheartedly agree with the hon. Gentleman. However, Labour Members find it distasteful that the three Opposition parties who oppose the change cannot accept the fundamental principle that losers should not become winners. They hide the fact that the main reason they oppose the change is that they do not have enough members who want to stand and would be decent enough candidates to fill both the list and the constituency vacancies.
