I agree—it is a tragedy that so few hon. Members are present. If one gives people a doorstep to scrutinise, some think that that is not what they were elected to Parliament to do. That is part of the problem. However, that is why they should be here. I appreciate that we have much else to do and that many other debates and important meetings are going on, but there is nothing more important than our relationship with the EU, which is fundamentally flawed and on which our views are divorced from those of the electorate.
