Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

It is a matter of saying, ““How much do you like me?”” and being told, ““Not enough to give you the whole of my vote””. The answer could be maybe a quarter, a fifth or a sixth. The candidate says, ““Unfortunately, there are only four candidates in this, so you can’t give me a sixth””. I do not think that it is realistic. I recognise the problem, but I do not favour the solution. I described the noble and learned Lord, Lord Wallace of Tankerness, as a gem but what I meant was a pearl.
