Proceeding contribution from Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 29 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on Railways.
Railways
My Lords, perhaps I may remind the noble Earl that I was sorely tempted from 1995 onwards. I have always disapproved strongly of crossing the Floor of the House because you usually cheat the public by not having a by-election and the mandate therefore is distorted. It is a party system rather than a personal system. Once I was freed from that by being defeated in 1997, some while later I joined another party.
