Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on House of Commons Reform.
House of Commons Reform
The hon. Gentleman has mentioned public participation. Is he at all attracted by Simon Cowell's idea for an "X Factor" approach, not on whether we should have Gordy from Cowdenbeath, Dave from the home counties or Nicky from south Yorkshire as our leader, but on particular and specific issues? Would that not go some way towards engaging the public in the important things we discuss here?
