"Mr President, I rise on a point of order under Rule 166. You know as well as I do that, no matter what the colour of your politics in this place, there is one factor that uniquely unites nearly all of us: whether black, blue, yellow, red or green, we all try our best to represent the people who kindly gave us this job.
In my region, the East Midlands of the United Kingdom, in the last election voters experimented and tried a different colour. Indoctrinated by old adverts and TV celebrity, they believed that, as we say in the UK, the future is bright, the future is orange. A few months later and alas, one of our new representatives disappeared from the scene and from this Parliament. There are many concerns for his safety: some believed he had been kidnapped, others that he was a relative of Lord Lucan. I ran a competition in the East Midlands offering a bottle of champagne for the first confirmed sighting of my illustrious but missing colleague Mr Robert Kilroy-Silk. Alas, to this day the champagne remains unclaimed, and so as an unclaimed prize, I believe I should give it to the man himself. Here is the said bottle of champagne."@en1
