"Mr President, in my idea of what constitutes democracy, there are votes which should be expressed publicly.
The secret ballot is reserved for certain appointments, but when democrats are not capable of stating publicly their choices concerning essential political appointments, when they call for secret ballots on points of procedure, even though they claim to be defending transparency, then all I can say is that that is not my idea of democracy, or of transparency, or of a sense of political responsibility. I want to say publicly, here and now, that I shall be voting against the amendments tabled by those advocates of transparency – a strange transparency indeed!"@en1
