Proceeding contribution from Lord Mann (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.


Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

I do not agree with my hon. Friend's use of the adjective ““ill-advised””. A more appropriate description might be ““anti-democratic and gerrymandering in order to hold together this fragile and useless coalition.”” I point out that in a by-election last Thursday, the Liberals' share of the vote fell to 2% in my area.
