The interim list was a bit of an obsession of mine, and reminds me of the frequent efforts of Donnachadh McCarthy to have the proposal debated in the first place, and then enforced by the Parliamentary Ombudsman (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3617328.stm), before he flounced out of the Party. I even drafted the amendment debated in 2004 calling for a new list to be elected by members in the European regions, to try and address the London and South-East centric nature of the 1999 list. <br /><br />I still think that, until the Lords are properly elected (which the Tories will have no interest in promoting), all we can do is make sure our own procedures are properly democratic, and re-constitute the list every electoral cycle on a regional basis.youngdegsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425554058359217667noreply@blogger.com
