It emerges from two people and their hired lawyers. The title of the campaign was "Democracy Matters". Well, it did not matter that bloody much to them.
I have to say these things. We have to talk this Bill through. I am not in agreement with a lot of it. In fact, I am strongly in disagreement. However, I will leave my remarks at that. I feel very strongly about this. I did not speak about it at the time but I speak about it now because I thought this confection might disappear into the general mix of discussion documents. Yes, I want reform. I want real reform. I want radical reform. I do not see it in this, however. It is a lawyers' hotchpotch.
