Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 November 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. Is it not the case that the act of voting is an individual one, yes, but as an elector you want wherever possible to be with a community of others? Surely the point about constituencies is that they are about communities. If you break up communities that are naturally together, that has severe consequences for the interests of all the individuals who make up that electorate.
