Electoral System

Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Electoral System.
The right hon. Lady has obviously struck a chord in the House. I noticed many hon. Members saying that they would not be at all surprised. Perhaps I would not be either. If I am really fair about this for a moment—[Interruption.] I think I should. The point that we are making is that if there are loopholes in the system and glaring omissions in security, there will always be people who are so desperate to be elected to whatever post that they will defraud the system. That is why we need the protections that we are talking about.
