"Mr President, you asked that this Parliament should enjoy a greater commitment from its membership. This is not really a parliament in any sense that the British would understand or recognise. This Chamber looks like the Supreme Soviet, apart from the flags. It conducts business like the Supreme Soviet and the debates here are not debates in any real sense of the word at all.
As a mere backbencher, if I get one minute – determined by officials and not by knowledge or need – I am lucky. There are no interventions, there is no giving way, nor any chance to challenge and test ideas that have been put forward. This essentially is an elaborate democratic fig-leaf and we are all part of a charade."@en1
