Whilst watching the DEB proceedings, I felt the urge to have some kind of big red button on my table connected to a massive klaxon and a laser display board just above the Speaker's Chair. So much waffle and intervention/counter-intervention not much was actually said that was sensible, relevant and concise. Oh well, democracy in action... I only wish I could vote 'out of constituency' as such so I could place my local government vote for one of the clueful MPs. I'm stuck with Gisela Stuart and Clare Short :( - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.
