European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Flight (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
Does the noble Baroness agree that there is a difference between how people vote at elections and what happens in the House of Commons? I was simply making the point that when any party has a large majority in the House of Commons, under the British system since it was changed by Walpole from the originally intended system in the Act of Rights, I am afraid that when there is a large majority it does function as an elected tyranny on either side.
