Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
I dare say that I will get a great deal closer than the Liberal Democrats did yesterday. I fail to understand how the Government could be frightened by the Liberal Democrats who are abstaining. If they want to start persuading the Government about anything, threatening them with an abstention is not the best way to send shivers down their back—““Ooh! The Liberal Democrats are going to abstain! Oh my God!””
