European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
7:00 pm
Cyprian Brady (Fianna Fail)
The electoral system we have here is unique in Europe. It is a system of proportional representation based on a single transferable vote and incorporating multiple-seat constituencies. If we had a rainbow coalition government with a majority of one or two seats and a couple of their Deputies or Senators decided to run for Europe, I am sure those on the far side of the House would be supporting them.
