Political Parties and Elections Bill

The Minister knows that I have an interest in this issue. Is there any reason whatsoever why the three main parties exclusively will have the opportunity to nominate three commissioners, and yet the minority parties—the parties of government of all the other legislatures throughout the United Kingdom—will have the opportunity to nominate only one? Is it not the case that the House of Lords, like this place, has looked at these issues solely through the Westminster prism and forgotten about the new multi-legislature UK in which we now live?
