Proceeding contribution from Lord McAvoy (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
Does my noble friend not realize that he has a problem with the language he is using? He spoke about ““allowing”” the voters to put an X. ““Allowing”” is strange language to use. They are going to force voters to vote a certain way or somehow they are invalid, undemocratic or they just do not count. ““Allowing the voters”” is strange to me.
