It is exactly on point, but if what the Acting Chairman is really telling me is to hurry up and finish, I am about to finish.

We did not call the referendum on judges' pay the "Cut the Pay of Those Greedy Judges Referendum". We did not manipulatively entitle other referenda, but such is the ideology, agenda, determination and ruthlessness of the Government on this Bill that it is seeking to tilt the jury on the very day in that profound and serious moment when people enter the polling booths. It should not do this. Doing so will rebound to the disadvantage of its case.
